I actually responded because your story resonates with me - so please don't misunderstand. I also have BPD and other comorbid issues that have in fact...
Regarding your original post: Why do you wish that you had made different choices? This seems to presuppose that if you had made different choices, th...
Interesting! Thanks for sharing the link, I'll definitely give this a look. Also, I PM you the link to my project. Any and all feedback is welcome. Th...
As I've mentioned, this is something that I also found to be the case using AI like gpt... however, this, I think, mistakes accidental aspects of AI f...
Exactly what I mean when I describe GPT as "Yes-many" - this was my problem, too, and why I tried to make something better. Something that doesn't aff...
I agree, and interestingly enough I also found myself ultimately using chatGPT exactly in a manner you described in your previous paragraph; more as a...
Firstly, It's nice to meet you. Secondly, I appreciate this sentiment, in particular. Thirdly, I read the entire post three times now, and while I fin...
Thank you. I actually did stumble across that topic while browsing...truthfully, I've found that larger topics are more difficult for me to follow. I ...
The real question, is why given the fact that you agree that by taking atomic propositions to represent the general logical form of proper proposition...
This is an assumption you're making, and one which I think isn't necessarily the case. Firstly, there seems to be a clear category difference between ...
And here's where I disagree. Witt says: "Every proposition has a content and a form. We get the picture of the pure form if we abstract from the meani...
In Some Remarks on Logical Form, Witt deals closely with the problems of color. In it, he says: "Every proposition has a content and a form. We get th...
Ha! Like my last thread, we've gotten into tangents concerning the main point, however, since I am the OP and I think its important to work out the ta...
A proposition is a statement capable of carrying a truth value. Examples like: "The car is red." "The apple is ripe and delicious." Elementary proposi...
I'll do my best to address some of the points you make... You say: As it turns out, what amounts to the second sentence of any philosophical work is r...
I agree with a lot of what you've said in your posts...specifically regarding the broader scope of the work,. However, I found myself disagreeing here...
1. Logical positivists were not proponents of "modeling". For a logical positivist, the meaning of a proposition is its method of verification. 2. Pos...
Could you be more clear? :sweat: I am only somewhat familiar with the mechanist theory as it pertains to folks like Descartes and the revival of early...
This was quite helpful :) Adding to what you said, though... The debate which took place during the end of the 1800s and the beginning of the 1900s wa...
I more or less agree with this; it's basically the direction my thoughts have been headed, lately. With that being said, the only this you say that I ...
While I take your point, I don't necessarily agree that this must be the case. With that being said...I tend to take Witt at his word when he says tha...
Yes, I believe this is the problem of theory ladeness, right? That is, that our theory in some sense precedes our experience of the phenomena as such....
Witt says: “My propositions are elucidatory in this way: he who understands me finally recognizes them as nonsense, when he has climbed out through th...
I actually, personally, agree with you in terms of overall thesis. I think Aristotle's application of reason was both insightful and also not entirely...
We have to be careful, though. The use of the word "decay" isn't being used in the traditional sense of say a uranium atom decaying and releasing an a...
In June of 1911 an institution was founded known as the Bridge. It was in part funded using the Nobel prize money of chemist and physicist Wilhelm Ost...
This is very interesting... I've heard a line of reasoning that reminds me of this....I think it might have been Searle? Well, regardless...they made ...
I've always found the parallels between Socrates' treatment of "the good" and Wittgenstein's fascinating; it's actually what got me interested in Witt...
Indeed they were, but that's not to say that there is nothing that can be learned from Aristotle. I don't think he's wrong here...universal knowledge,...
Yes, but immediately following that he says: "Such in kind and in number are the opinions which we hold with regard to Wisdom and the wise. Of the qua...
Your translation is slightly different than mine :razz: But, in the quote you reference, I take Aristotle to be saying: "We say wise people have quali...
Every objection is worthy, my friend :smile: So, from 4.001 we know that the entirety of language is simply every possible proposition. This makes sen...
Did you want a quote that said that word for word? He says all propositions are language and all true propositions are science, therefore language is ...
Hmmm...maybe you're right. I'll have to respond once I've spent a little more time re-reading a bit of the metaphysics. But then it what sense can we ...
Without having to dig out the quotes that explain that a proposition is a possible state of affairs, I hope this helps: "The totality of propositions ...
It was, and its precisely under this climate that Wittgenstein grew up. The second wave of positivism as characterized by Ernst Mach would eventually ...
Witt says: "The totality of true propositions is the total natural science (or the totality of the natural sciences)" (4.11) But, language can convey ...
Knowledge does begin with the senses, but it does not end there. As Aristotle says: "Such and so many are the notions, then, which we have about Wisdo...
Well, he begins by saying a few things: 1. Humans have an innate desire to know 2. This knowledge takes different forms 3. Regardless of the form, kno...
I have thoughts on Aristotle's metaphysics, but I don't believe that I fully understand the issue that you're trying to articulate in the OP. Would yo...
While, I agree with the second part...the first part I don't catch your meaning. I have cited several examples where it does seem as though Witt is ma...
I would say that, perhaps, he wants us to be silent about certain kinds of metaphysics. Like Hume before him which said to "cast into the fire" all me...
I can see you no longer want to focus on the quotes wherein Witt does not make a distinction between the world, and "my world". Where he literally say...
Okay, so a couple of things... Your example is not so much an example of a negative fact, as simply a tautology...which is Witt's point. But, a negati...
I’ll try again...Witt says, “The totality of existent atomic facts is the world” (2.04). in 2.06, he then goes on to say: “The existence and non-exist...
Compare this to: "The existence and non-existence of states of affairs is reality (2.06). Even in the Pears version, there is a distinction between 1....
Then what is the purpose of Witt saying: "The total reality is the world" (2.063). If there is no distinction being made, and he's using the expressio...
Correct lol That's why there is a distinction between "The world" and "reality". In reality, I make my pizza out of dough and cheese xD In logical spa...
Thank you for the comment. I'd appreciate some quotes from the Tractatus that shows that this is, in fact, the case. I know that Witt mentions "ideali...
