I have given out the explanations based on the reasonings. But you just say, well the other folks don't agree with you, and University California says...
If you don't agree with something, come with your reasonings why it is not true, rather than simply saying, the other folks don't agree with you, and ...
I will not try argue with you. Whatever I say, I know you will come back with some irrational oppositions with no content. No logical arguments and ra...
"I am wet, therefore I swim." doesn't make sense, as "I think, therefore I am." doesn't make sense. "Think" doesn't warrant for anything. "Think" mean...
In a proposition, it is. You are trying best to make the point. I can see that. But we are talking within the syntactic and semantic realm with no add...
I did bow out from this thread, but you have directed your post with your poorly reasoned writings to me, misleading my points. Hence I am briefly bac...
Thanks :) I am not an expert in Logic myself, but it can be an interesting subject at times. I think I will reread my Logic book again to refresh the ...
I think I said enough on what I had to say. Much of them were just the repeating the ideas and points, which you seem cannot accept. I am bowing out f...
Yes, I am bowing out from this thread after this message. I was going to do that about 10 pages ago. But I was getting frustrated to see the continuin...
Agreed. Thinking (Psychology) ===> Existence (Ontology, Epistemology). This is a leap. It is not even a logical leap. It is a psychological or paranor...
Yeah you are still right. Folks seem to think still I think therefore I am is some sort of logical statement, hence all the confusions. Because they a...
In the course of the proof, they are both assumptions until "I don't exist" is found False, when we checked it against the fact of human life in the w...
Yes, correct. You have got it spot on. 'I think therefore I am' implies 'I do not think, therefore I do not exist'. It is logically valid (reasoning v...
This is true. It is real to you, but it is nothing to me. Likewise, you would never know what I am thinking. It is true and real to me, but nothing to...
Thinking is a subjective mental activity. Content of thinking is private with no access possibility to other minds. To the owner of the mind, thinking...
Of course it is valid. Hence the assumption, Not P -> Not Q is valid. That was all it was trying to present. You too, seems not knowing the difference...
I am telling you this again mate. Logic will only show you whether the propositions were derived correctly or not from the assumptions, and that's all...
You don't seem to know what valid means. Valid just means conclusion was derived from the premises. It doesn't mean conclusion is true. A statement ca...
Sure, good point. They disputed that Not P -> Not Q doesn't make sense. But the logic checker says it is valid. (p?q)?(¬p?¬q) (P -> Q) = -P or Q (P. B...
Just was suggesting a would-be better formula. Not biting your hands at all. My point was the content of Not Q was FALSE, therefore the original assum...
Descartes said "He thinks, therefore he is." What are you talking about? Thinking is not totality of mind. Thinking also has objects and contents. Des...
But rules are for us to apply them into the individual cases. Rules don't exist just for rules themselves, or for its own sake of just existing as rul...
This is exactly the point I was making with misuse of Logic. P Bogart is not a math god. He is just a math teacher. At Not P --> Not Q, if you were se...
The evidence that you are psychologically biased is based on the fact that, you don't even accept my proposition that we can agree to disagree, and en...
Yes, but your example and the other's examples are the case of categorical mistake. This is the problem with the symbolic classical logic. Because it ...
I agree with your idea that language is a tool to communicate, and it can be unclear at times for philosophical discussions. But we also have Formal L...
Destruction is purely physical, whereas violence is physical plus psychological. Therefore attributing violence to the natural disasters sounds absurd...
Good point. I am not going to deny your point straight away. I wouldn't be that rude. But it seems that you talking about again totally different case...
I thought our discussion had been over about 10 pages ago. You kept on hounding me with the same daft questions and irrelevant comments for some reaso...
You are totally ignoring the plant you were talking about in the proposition, and suddenly starting to making random inference of holding some other p...
