So it is evident your interpretation on W. was wrong.

This part is your usual modus operandi, which is ad hominem and straw man.

So which discussion is not finite in that case? Does any discussion under the sun go on forever? It doesn't make sense. Are you possibly suggesting Wi...

Describe "infinity" in clear and actual way in understandable language, and I will tell you about your modus operandi.

Yup, that was my interpretation of Wittgenstein. What is your ground for saying it error?

Wasn't he saying clearly mathematician's infinite are finite?

You misunderstood. It meant that Wittgenstein said that mathematician's infinite means finite in his writings. See the quote above. Then you said, inf...

Too many threads on infinity. You found it OK. Anyway, it wasn't far. Tone was in the thread, and he would have seen it. Anyway, Cantor and Dedekind w...

I have already quoted from Wittgenstein from his writings "infinite" in math means "finite", and he adds that the mathematicians discussions will end....

No one was doing math here. This is philosophy forum, not math. We have been just pointing out that misuse of concepts and definitions, and using them...

Please prove how Goodness is the property of moral or immoral. Is there such a thing as moral goodness as actual perfection? Goodness for who? An act ...

Me neither. But I try to reply to the posts addressed to me. Which math textbook says "infinite" means "not finite"?

Interact? Why do you want to talk, share and communicate with your cup? We are interested in perception and belief, not interaction.

I am just a reader not a philosopher, so most of my views are likely to be from the common sensical ideas. But isn't moral goodness a superfluous term...

Problem with Set Theory is that their concept "infinite" means "finite". It breaks the most fundamental principle of Truth.

The OP was not edited at all. But due to misunderstanding of many folks in their posts (including Banno), there had been extra posts added by me for c...

When one is a hard idealist, and the world is just a representation in his mind, it would be hard to refute him. Indeed if what you see is a represent...

When you are not perceiving the world, you wouldn't be asking the question where is my cup, would you? The question sounds absurd. Again when you are ...

That was an accurate description of the problems of the mathers. Not blindly punching anything at all. The other shortcomings of math is it cannot acc...

Axiomatic methodology in math is not free from problems and deficiencies. They are subjective definitions which are often circular in logic. They lack...

Sure as endeavours to be formal and more clear in their system, but is it always making sense? That is another question. Often it tends to make the sy...

You must read them yourself. They all had reservations on the concept of Infinity in math. Quite understandably and rightly so.

The point at the time of writing the post was logical ground rather than physical, ontological or epistemic ground for the doubt. If your ground for b...

There might had been a situation where you put the cup in the cupboard of the shared kitchen dormitory in your university time. I wonder if you had ev...

How does your system deal with the same words of the different meanings in the real world identification? For example, a dog is an animal. But you als...

Isn't axiomatic model for formalizing various branches of mathematical theory, including geometry, algebra, set theory? Applying that concept to lingu...

What I meant was that, as Frege, Russell, Wittgenstein and Hilbert had in their minds, that many math axioms, concepts and definitions are not logical...

In Philosophy, they don't use axioms and deductive reasonings and proofs as their main methodology. Philosophy can check the axioms, theorems, hypothe...

The whole confusion resulted from the wrong premise that infinite numbers do exist. No they don't exist at all. So it is an illusion. From the illusiv...

My statements were from my reasoning. But what you claim to be objectivity is from the textbooks. Please bear in mind, the textbooks are also written ...

There are many other things that can be discussed in the thread such as the world itself, God, Souls, places one never has been, people one never met ...

Analytic sentences are known to be superfluous for the meanings are already in the sentence, and it is just repeating what is in it. A bachelor is a m...

I think his point is that an analytic system must be able to interact with the external world input data for it to be useful.

Yes, but Quine might ask, what about in the case of, when a married woman claims that she is a Bachelor, and you ask how is it possible? She replies "...

Things exist in minds as well as in empirical world. When things exist in mind, they are called concepts and ideas.

Many believe in the existence they don't perceive such as God, Souls, afterlife, the places they have never been but seen on the social media and peop...

If that is the case, then it seems barmy to talk about different size of the infinite sets.

Mathematics must have been believing in Philosophy's assistance in clarifying the tricky concepts. :snicker:

There is no such a thing as "infinite" number. See this is an illusion, and source of the confusion. Infinity is a property of motion or action, nothi...

From the point of the set N, it looks like it is. But from the point of the set P, it looks like it is only a half set to N. What's going on?

Math and Science pursues the answers in the answer book. You are either right or wrong. Philosophy is more into your arguments and logic for the answe...

Blimey I was going to make a thread about "Science as a superstition".
