Any AI system needs some sort of reasoning logic based on the different domains and hierarchical structure of the data. It is more challenging to impl...

He also agrees that Cyc project's flaw is the problem of handling contradictions in the input data. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIB2eK8s3gY

So how do the users know which is which? Do they have to type in the unique GUID into the system to get the correct definition they want? Or can the C...

What about the case where cat means a plant? "What is a cat plant? Chamaedorea Cataractarum, also known as a Cat Palm, is a small, bushy palm tree tha...

The Temporal logicians wouldn't object. There are tons of different non-classic logics out there. It is sunny. (It was true this morning.) It is sunny...

Analytic knowledge is still limited in a sense that it doesn't add any new information to the knowledge. If you knew the meaning of cat, then you don'...

Yes correct. It is true regardless a cat is or is not in the living room.
February 22, 2024 at 23:25
How about "There is a cat or there is not a cat in my living room right now." ? Is this sentence analytic or not?
February 22, 2024 at 22:20
If you traced back what you wrote, you just kept on saying that judgement has nothing to do with reason. But then now you seem to have changed your wo...

It would be much helpful if you could / would just explain the unclear things in straight forward manner instead of keep beating around the bush.
February 22, 2024 at 19:57
Your misunderstanding seems to come from thinking judgements are concepts, and judgements have no association with reasoning in the operation. If this...
February 22, 2024 at 17:31
Judgement is an act of judging. Concept is more close to definition. Judgement can have concepts in its content, and it is always in propositional for...
February 22, 2024 at 14:29
It breaks the traditional meaning of judgement and concept. I am not sure if there is a point for insisting on the point apart from creating confusion...
February 22, 2024 at 13:41
If you already have the concepts of things, why do you need further judgements on them? What are there to judge with things?
February 21, 2024 at 23:51
You could join the time travel thread, and travel into the 1700s. :nerd:
February 21, 2024 at 23:50
Yes, there are many different interpretations even in the academic communities. Which one is the absolute true one?
February 21, 2024 at 20:02
Not quite clear what you are trying to say here. Could you give some real life examples, where you can make judgements with conception only without an...
February 21, 2024 at 19:59
It sounds absurd to say judgements only need conceptions for its operation. It needs more than conception to operate. How can you judge if the apple t...
February 21, 2024 at 17:31
Maybe you did. Not sure. Anyway the point is that judgement needs reason for its proper operation. Without reason, judgement will work. But without su...

February 21, 2024 at 16:23
Why does it synthesise? What is synthesis for, if it doesn't offer conclusion? I have a few AI book here, and all of them talk about the association t...

From Hume to Kant, they all agree on the connection theory that all the mental faculties operate on the basis of the causality between each and every ...

How can judgement function for arriving at rational conclusions, if it were severed from reason?

February 21, 2024 at 11:54
Good point. Yes, I agree with that. Classic logic is very useful in checking out logical validity and soundness in the spoken languages and written do...

I was reading "A Kant Dictionary" by H. Caygill last night, and it says, Noumenon is not a being or existence in Kant. But it is a boundary of human k...
February 21, 2024 at 11:37
I agree with this. There is no such a thing as the officially accepted definition or interpretation of Ding-An-Sich and Noumenon even in the academic ...
February 21, 2024 at 11:24
Ok, we agree to disagree. That is fine. Thanks. I thought this thread had ended when it had around 600 posts. It disappeared for a while, but then it ...
February 21, 2024 at 11:03
This sounds like the point I was getting across to RussellA in the other thread. But I am not sure if reason has no warrant or entitlement to do in th...
February 21, 2024 at 10:58
I was thinking about this today, and this idea came to my mind. If something is an existence, how can it be without ontology or epistemology? They go ...
February 20, 2024 at 22:55
What would be the proper account in your opinion?
February 20, 2024 at 22:31
Indeed. That was what I meant. When you said that my post was not adequately outlined, I was wondering then what is the right outline on the topic? Wa...

Not the paper itself (Is there a link for the full paper?). Just the quote. The following is the point I used to agree with, and still do. What is you...

February 20, 2024 at 10:43
Ok, was just trying to see the concept from a solipsist's point. Since this is not about interpreting Kant accurately, it was an attempt to see it fro...

It looks to be difficult to prove the existence of noumenon if not impossible. And logically, if a noumenon was proven to be existent, then would it b...
February 20, 2024 at 09:22
The traditional classic logic wouldn't be able to deal with the dynamic and unpredictable nature of the real world. From quite some time ago, various ...
February 20, 2024 at 00:40
Yeah, that was written sometime ago, when I knew little about logic. Since then I have read a few different logic textbooks, which totally changed my ...

Sure, logic must be the working engines of all the computers and even AI agents suppose. But there would also some custom logics they set up, and embe...

How could something be an epistemic being, if it is unknowable and has no physical referent? How could something be an ontological being, if it is unk...

Not sure if B entails C. Because if you are not aware of the things in the world, then how do you know there are things outside of your mind? Yes, you...

Could this be an implication of accepting the Kantian thing-in-itself in empirical world? Or does it mean just there are things that you have no exper...
