Well, then "x can not be true in logic without contradiction" is just nonsense, unless we're talking about some weird paraconsistent logic with necess...
The only place where logical validity enters the picture is that if one accepts the premises that truth values are identical to judgments about propos...
I disagree with the premise that logic is what "permits" or "doesn't permit" truth values. (A fortiori because I'd say that logic isn't in the permiss...
(1) IN POSSIBLE WORLD X "There is no logic in world x" (2) IN POSSIBLE WORLD Y "There is no logic in world x" That's true (in my view) in (2), and nei...
??? I'm not and I wouldn't be arguing anything about certainty. That doesn't imply that I'm not (psychologically) certain about something. But certain...
It's true in possible world y that there's no logic in world x. In possible world x, nothing is true or false. It's simply a fact that there is no log...
No, it's not. There are a couple possible reasons for this, depending on just what we have in mind contextually re the possible worlds in question: Ra...
Right, that's what I've been trying to make clear to him via clearing up what seems to be confusion about context with respect to possible worlds. (An...
Sorry--I got mixed up on Peirce's definitions. Okay. But it still seems like the only significant difference, though, is that you'd be saying that wha...
??? What conditional are we referring to, first off?--"If there are no judgments, there is no truth-value"? The contrapositive of that is, "If there i...
I can't really make sense out of that last post: "I'm saying (that via?) logic your claims do not (possess?) truth value because they are claims that ...
Ah--you're saying inside of world x? Yeah, inside of world x, nothing has any truth value. That has no implication on whether truths are judgments tho...
As stated, that's not at all a consequence. You'd have to spell out the implication, because as it stands it's a non-sequitur. You're simply claiming ...
Would I say that inside of possible world x, that is, limiting it to what's inside of that circle above marked as "Possible World X," it's true or fal...
Here's an illustrative aid that makes it a bit easier to think about the question: https://s23.postimg.org/dwidnpwnv/Possible_World_X.jpg https://s30....
That's a yes or no question. Either I would say that or I wouldn't (and I'll give you a 50/50 chance--either yes or no is correct here). At the moment...
That certainly doesn't follow. Joe believes in God. Joe doesn't believe that God has communicated with him. Joe says that God has communicated with hi...
If it gets right. If the belief coheres with what's the case in the world. it's not at all impossible to claim that x communicated with you without re...
What? But nothing in that sentence is implied by "The atheistic belief has right what the world is like." This conclusion works just as well: "The ath...
Yeah, what I presented was nominalism. (Which was the whole point of that.) It seems like the only significant difference, though, is that you'd be sa...
Re comments in the thread in general, Fodor's representational theory of mind is not a theory of perception. It's a theory of how mind works in genera...
Okay, so if the atheistic belief has right what the world is like, then that implies that atheists created religions because _____? (And then what's t...
One of my objections would be this: the only way that a Turing machine manipulating symbols in a purely syntactical manner and executing truth-preserv...
Okay, so how would "A lack of belief in God" being true (do you mean it's true that the person has a lack of belief in God? Or are you more saying if ...
What are you talking about? Are you positing something like the idea that "atheists created religions"??? (And what would that have to do with the top...
No one is saying they're identical. You asked why they're associated with each other. That's why. An association is different than not being separate....
Religions have content that's socially conservative. Gods, prophets, etc.(whatever it might be depending on the religion at hand) supposedly issue dec...
Once "likes" reach a particular number, we could have a "circle-jerk seal of approval" icon. If a user has a certain number of liked posts/threads tha...
Yeah, something that encourages more cliqueyness and herd conformity sounds like a great idea. Let's figure out some way to use peer pressure more eff...
Right, so given that, how would we avoid a formulation at all resembling the "golden rule" where it wouldn't be consistent with people behaving in way...
I don't care anything about "duty" pro or con here. So I don't care whether anything is or isn't anyone's duty in anyone's opinion. You had said: I'm ...
That sounds to me like you're saying that if one were to feel something strongly enough, one would necessarily come to the conclusion that it can't ju...
Actually, given what you wrote there, we very much disagree. With the unicorn example, what's at issue is whether a particular sort of creature exists...
No, I'm not saying anything about you agreeing with me. I'm saying something about whether you even understand the view you're critiquing. If you unde...
As would I. What would that even have to do with me answering 4? You had just brought up meanings and the issue of whether we can know that we have th...
