Are mathematical truths necessary if mathematics is grounded in the contingency of the world?

But you said: Apparently you should have said, "If you have mathematized objects you have already had recourse to the 'pre-mathematical' world." If th...

- You have often ignored my inquiry about whether it is possible to delete a point as rhetorical or unworthy, but I don't think it is. In Aristotelian...

- I was trying to use your own verbiage there, as I had been using the word "contains." For example: So suppose we are talking about the cross-section...

Yes, good. First I want to say that every metaphysics is going to be a little bit like a regenerating hydra by definition. This is because the metaphy...

- There's no point in continuing if it is the same thing over and over. I have tried to move it away from the great circle into questions about disagr...

I'm not having it because you keep begging the question. You say there is a sentence/claim but you won't say what the sentence is. It's not much diffe...

I think I've been pretty clear that I don't think one is more than correct than another, at least in the face of a skepticism or a univocity like your...

Shit-testing? I think you're just pulling shit out of your ass out of desperation at this point. You're a few inches away from Amadeus', "I'm right be...

So you use phrases like that in conversation? Bollocks. It is absurd to claim that such a sentence pertains to, "everyday language use and reasoning,"...

We seem to think about mathematics very differently. You think that a point can be deleted; that a set of coplanar points might not lie on a plane, et...

- I agree. Theism and evolution are both examples of unified theories. Theism is a case where mind and matter are said to come from mind; evolution is...

I am considering making a new thread on a related topic, but I am wondering what you actually mean by "shit testing"? Originally I thought you meant s...

- No, you're to blame for trying to reframe the issue around bogeys of "authoritarianism" and "closed-mindedness." You're a joke.

- Prayer is just a special form of impetration or petition. I suppose one could send a petition to no one in particular—a kind of message in a bottle ...

And thus the moralistic undercurrents driving this silliness have finally become fully explicit. It's hard to put so much effort into defending an und...

- And here I was under the impression that Jamal invented TPF. :smile:

- That is closer to the foundational discussion between Srap and I, but still different. I think 's post is quite good. There are two questions with t...

This is a helpful OP. In your other thread we touched on the Scholastic transcendentals or convertibles. Another transcendental besides being and trut...

No I didn't. See: But it is here illustrative that I am not familiar with the concept "great circle," especially as to its specific geometrical proper...

@"Count Timothy von Icarus" Just pulling this for context. The OP is three years old. The recent discussion is not about the OP. After frank bumped th...

No, not really. You really ought to read Rombout on the way that Frege and Wittgenstein mean different things by "logic." Your whole frame is mistaken...

- So for Griffiths and Paseau "logical monism" holds that there is one true formalization. I have not seen anyone on TPF hold this theory, and I certa...

Well, one might accept it. I don't see any of these objections as straightforward. I don't think there is a "verbatim" meaning, to use @"fdrake"'s wor...

I don't see why one must accept this: Nevertheless, if the great circle is a torus—a three-dimensional object—then it is not a (Euclidean) circle. If ...

So be honest. When you say, "This sentence is true/false," do you think you are saying something meaningful? Would you actually use that phrase, speak...

It is also another departure from natural language. We do not speak of truth as having various species with no relation to each other. Nor does the te...

Banno has so thoroughly poisoned the well that it becomes difficult. Here is what I said to this idea: - So again: In order for a sentence to be true ...

Er, do you ever take your own advice?

A good move away from the strawmen. :up: Logic is that which reliably produces knowledge, via rational motion or inference. This is not limited to a s...

This is what always seems to happen with these shiny new theories. It is motte and bailey. The controversial claims that stimulated attention dissipat...

I think the univocalist extreme of splicing everything apart and analyzing it separately is representative of sophistry (or nihilism?). Namely, the me...

So you seem to think that atheists should go ahead and pray. It doesn't make sense. If someone believes that person X does not exist then they should ...

Eh. If I ask you to do something and someone else does it then you haven't fulfilled my request. Pretty basic. Has my petition been granted? No, I don...

Can't you do philosophy in your own words, and answer simple questions put to you? In an OP with three different articles, you post first, ignore the ...

So you are saying that your prayers might still be answered even if God does not exist? So that an atheist could be justified in praying?

- Okay, well thanks for answering the question. Given that I have an outstanding reply to @"Moliere" in this thread and Baden elsewhere, I'm going to ...

Okay, so you think the PNC can be violated without being destroyed? I'm not really following. Presumably you think the first premise presents a false ...

- Remember back when you thought this was an "interesting question"? Now you refuse to look at it.

You want to talk about logical pluralism without talking about the PNC? All that means is that you don't want to talk about logical pluralism. You are...

Where do you find that claim, "They aren't logical without total adherence"? I have asked Banno multiple times whether he agrees or disagrees with the...

But I never did that, so that makes you wrong four times in a row now. Shoot. I can't have begged the question with a claim I never made. ( - Yep)

How so? "If the 'true/correct logics' contradict one another, then the PNC has been destroyed." I have to accept the PNC to accept that claim? I think...

I'll just point out what a great question this is, and how it becomes even greater after being dodged. :smile:

Yep, haha. But maybe that's the point. Great posts of late. Your time away has served you well. :up:

Do you agree or disagree with that inference? There is no adjudication, just a consequence. And yet you are the one who transplanted a different conve...

Yep, and intersubjective validation/confirmation. Yes, that's a good point. What's curious is that often higher knowledge is called "wisdom," and I wo...

- Where have I given primacy to the PNC? Are you disagreeing with my argument or not?

Yep, that's what I said. I think Count has addressed this nicely: So we end up with this: The "true/correct logics" either contradict one another or t...
