I am not sure if you answered this question.

Ok, Peano. :up: The HOL book by Bacon must be an introduction to the subject, and doesn't seem to discuss anything about Liars paradox or Tarski's tru...
April 04, 2024 at 00:28
What is PA? Strange, the book doesn't say anything about Godel, Tarski, undefinability, or Paradox in the whole content. It talks a lot about Labmda C...

That's the book. Downloaded and saved into my iPad, thanks. Great reading material. :up: :pray:
April 03, 2024 at 22:10
Sure, I am currently reading on "High-Order Logics" by Andrew Bacon, and this is a really nice supporting thread for the reading. Thanks.
April 03, 2024 at 21:32
:blush: :pray:

My copy of " A Dictionary of Philosophical Logic" by R. T. Cook says, "Tarski's indefinability theorem states that arithmetical truth cannot be define...
April 03, 2024 at 21:23
I agree with you.
April 03, 2024 at 21:14
You are very welcome TS. So is it the speech act or language which makes subjectivity to objectivity? We are communicating via writing on the keyboard...
April 03, 2024 at 21:07
I agree with you.
April 03, 2024 at 21:01
But how can anyone know about subjectivity apart from one's own? Isn't shared subjectivity objectivity? Until subjectivity is shared with others, it i...
April 03, 2024 at 20:53
Good points.
April 03, 2024 at 20:40
OK, you say that it is still good to have objective moral values. I think we do. It is far stronger than one's opinions or wishful thinkings on the mo...
April 03, 2024 at 20:36
Does it mean that there is no such things as morally good or bad to begin with? Does it not invalidate the question "Who is morally culpable?"?
April 03, 2024 at 20:22
One can formalize the semantics—define truth—of lower order logic in high-order logic. Under that fact, isn't it the case HOL defeats Tarsky Undefinab...
April 03, 2024 at 20:17
Sure, God could be an abstract object which is not perceivable via sense perception. Or it could be a manifestation in some mundane physical forms suc...
April 03, 2024 at 14:42
When W. said that of which we cannot speak, we must remain silent, was he not saying something already on something of which we cannot speak?, which i...
April 03, 2024 at 09:27
Fair enough. At least you are honest with you answer on the questions, which deserves respect. Not knowing can be start of new investigative discussio...
April 03, 2024 at 09:21
Great link with much useful info to learn. Thank you PL.
April 03, 2024 at 00:10
I was under impression that higher than 3rd-order logic would be for the multiple set theories and advanced calculus applications, therefore they woul...
April 02, 2024 at 23:53
High-Order Logic seems to be more flexible and powerful for the real world cases due to its expanded variables availability for the properties and rel...
April 02, 2024 at 23:39
Would it be the only way that you could know the existence of Gods and Goddesses? No other ways? Since you have studied the world religions extensivel...
April 02, 2024 at 23:34
In Merlou-Ponty, the body itself is consciousness. According to his view, consciousness in the body would mean the body in the body, which sounds conf...
April 02, 2024 at 09:00
Do we need more than first and second order logic in practical uses?
April 02, 2024 at 08:55
So you studied all the religions in the world, and also the concepts of God extensively. You think about God much of your life. However, you are still...
April 02, 2024 at 08:52
You can carry on with the other interlocuters and I am sure you will have good discussions. cheers.
April 01, 2024 at 18:32
Good question. It depends on the case you are trying to prove. Some cases will work ok with MP or MT. But the cases like Cogito is awkward with the fo...
April 01, 2024 at 18:29
Thats an inference. This is inference from the rule.
April 01, 2024 at 18:18
Yes, that was the general rule. It was to show the logical inference processes in detail from the rule to Lion because he seems having difficulties un...
April 01, 2024 at 18:04
It is not. You are wrong again. ¬(a?b) = It is not the case (a?b) = negation. It is not contradiction. You never admit the truth as truth. That is par...
April 01, 2024 at 18:01
This seems to be your problem. ¬(a?b) is negation, not contradiction. You don't know the difference between negation and contradiction.
April 01, 2024 at 17:38
A?B ? ¬A?B ¬A?B ? B?¬A B?¬A ? ¬B?¬A = ¬A -> ¬B ? I await to hear your contradiction of "I think therefore I am" in plain English, and will take it fro...
April 01, 2024 at 17:24
What is the contradiction of it? Tell us exactly what is the contraction of "I think therefore I am" in plain English.
April 01, 2024 at 16:57
You must reason the contradiction, and check it over with the real events or existence for the truth or falsehood. You don't keep on going on with the...

~~
April 01, 2024 at 16:54
OK fine. That's rather quick and easy solution to us all. We have agreement. Thanks.
April 01, 2024 at 15:44
It is a reasoning by contradiction in proof. It is so obvious just by looking at it, both premises and conclusions are contradicted and checked out.
April 01, 2024 at 15:43
I am quite surprised to hear you all the way thought it was MP. MP is the most basic form, and was implemented by the Stoics. If it doesn't suit for t...
April 01, 2024 at 15:41
There are many different ways proofs can be done. MP is one way to do it, but it was not good for proving cogito, so I tried different arguments to su...
April 01, 2024 at 15:39
Sure, if you keep your control and just concentrate on the topics under the discussion, we can give another try. It is not because I am against using ...
April 01, 2024 at 15:29
It is the most mysterious answer I have heard in the forum, I am afraid. :D No Lion. Posting picture of a logic book is not a philosophical process. I...
April 01, 2024 at 14:35
I still cannot see any relevance of my Bio to this thread and what we have been discussing. Something other than what I meant? How do you know what I ...
April 01, 2024 at 14:13
But why do you talk about the Bio, in the middle of talking about order and logic? It would help in understanding, if you let us know what you think i...
April 01, 2024 at 13:48
I agree with you that some people make good efforts for improving and bettering the human living conditions which are under the negative inherent dete...
April 01, 2024 at 12:52
But do you think that humans with the restricted abilities are able to deal with the inherent determinants and constraints efficiently, even if they t...
April 01, 2024 at 09:57
Why suddenly talk about the bio written in Latin? What do you think it means?
April 01, 2024 at 09:43
What do you mean? Could you please explain on that point?
April 01, 2024 at 09:39
Even if a sentence is order form, it can be formalised and executed in the logic. If you read anything about mathematical logic, then you would have k...
April 01, 2024 at 08:36
You have changed my original example back to front to make it sound like order. Please read my original example given to you again, and confirm. The e...
April 01, 2024 at 08:27
I have been away all day, and just returned to see your message to me. I have no clue what you were talking about on how time works. But I will catch ...
