Within the game, according to the rules, it is true that some things are allowed and others not. It is justified within the system.

Do you mean the question of whether Peter wrote First or Second Peter and your answer that if he did then we have a direct account from someone who li...

Made is X is a somewhat meaningless term since parts and materials may come from elsewhere. According to Forbes there are no American made vehicles th...

I was half joking, but not really surprised.
September 13, 2024 at 14:39
It is largely a matter of politics. Both parties claim unfair trade practices. This is questionable because US companies including auto manufactures a...

There is a difference between being unable to distinguish between what he actually said and what has been attributed to him and the claim that a messa...

I would not be surprised if this escalates. Eating people is next.
September 12, 2024 at 12:50
I too think it matters, but the question is how much it matters to the voters. Certainly it will to may, but will it be enough in those states that ma...

Up until last night I worried about coyotes eating my dog. Now it seems I have worry about illegal immigrants eating my dog. Or is it all immigrants? ...

When was John written? Does it reflect the beliefs found in the synoptic gospels? We cannot say what Jesus would have said, but can this be squared wi...

To be more precise, he is the image of the invisible God, first-born of all creation. This is hardly unambiguous. As the image of God he is not God. I...
September 11, 2024 at 14:39
I agree. But that is not what I said. Previously you said: If you still hold to this claim then it is not enough to say a propositional justification ...
September 10, 2024 at 22:36
Again: Right. The justification is showing that the key is on the table. Showing that the key on the table - pointing to it, picking it up - is not a ...
September 10, 2024 at 22:03
No. That would not be an adequate justification. That is my point. The justification would be to go to the desk and find it. To show it to him. It is ...
September 10, 2024 at 21:37
So much for ignoring me. That did not last long. But perhaps someone else can sort out what you are either unwilling or unable to do. Perhaps someone ...
September 10, 2024 at 20:42
and yet: Leontiskos is pretending to ignore me, so maybe someone else can sort this out. The claim to divinity might mean that to be divine is not to ...
September 10, 2024 at 20:33
I agree.

I take it you mean Amy-Jill Levine. Her scholarship is solid. I read "The Historical Jesus in Context" and some interviews somewhere. Being raised in ...

Yes, but the point is, they can be expressed. He does say: he goes on to say:
September 10, 2024 at 15:18
Finding the key on the table is not a proposition. Saying I found the key on the table is. Perhaps. What is it about a proposition that I misunderstoo...
September 10, 2024 at 14:10
If I say "the key is on the desk" what proposition justifies it? I might say that I left it there I might add that no one has been in the room. That k...
September 10, 2024 at 13:53
Must the justification for a belief that is true be in the form of a proposition?
September 10, 2024 at 02:11
Complete nonsense! It seems more than a bit desperate. There are a great many laws in Judaism. Only a few of them are punishable by death. This like a...
September 10, 2024 at 00:26
I think you have it backwards. It is not playing with an equivocal usage. The term itself is equivocal. Jacob wrestled with a divine being. (Genesis 3...

Both and more. Some things I posted in prior discussions. This in no way meant to be comprehensive: 113. I observe a face, and then suddenly notice it...

The central importance of seeing.

Good example.

You have a noxious habit when you are unable to understand the scope of an is of accusing me of a a non sequitur argument. The Law includes Torah, Mis...

In a remark to Drury Wittgenstein says : Connections often obscure differences. When differences are taken into account the problem of what this guy i...
September 09, 2024 at 13:49
Do you mean by referencing Hume? No, not as it stands.
September 09, 2024 at 13:26
Yes. There is a direct through line with propositional analysis on one side and in the Tractatus' showing/seeing on the other, plus form of life in PI...
September 09, 2024 at 13:20
And yet, in 3 and 7 he gives examples of things he knows without giving propositional justification. By the way, I agree that whether Wittgenstein dis...
September 08, 2024 at 22:05
I will respond one more time then drop it. What you said is: How does using "know' only in situations where there is a explicit justification that can...
September 08, 2024 at 21:37
I agree with this, but as part of the web the work should not get lost. If there is something unique about it that should not become part of a homogen...
September 08, 2024 at 21:29
How else might your claim that: be understood? I admit that I might have misunderstood you but you have not given any indication of how this is to be ...
September 08, 2024 at 21:16
I have given textual evidence that speaking against the Law is regarded by the accusers as blasphemy. Have you forgotten your claim that: or are you j...
September 08, 2024 at 20:58
This not to contest what you said. My preference when interpreting a text is not to bring other texts into it. It adds another layer of questions. I d...

Reading aaaaaalllllll the way to the end of your huge post it would seem that you are in agreement that Wittgenstein denies that Moore knows, while ci...
September 08, 2024 at 18:33
But Wittgenstein denies that Moore does know
September 08, 2024 at 18:22
Apparently, you are trying to walk back your claim that: You are doing everything you can to distance yourself from that claim. Acts, as quoted and re...

I just finished listening to PBS "On the Media". They were discussing this. Pool, Rubin and others claim that they did not know the money for their pr...

And yet you say:
September 08, 2024 at 14:23
Yes, but how much? A house does not support its foundation (248). The axis (152) is not a foundation and is not in need of a foundation.
September 08, 2024 at 14:20
I point to sources that support what you claim I made up, The fact is, I did not. If you were arguing in good faith you would admit that. I would accu...
September 08, 2024 at 13:44
That can happen when you ignore parts of the text that have direct bearing on the issue. Rather than identify the propositional justification at 3 and...

Let's go point by point: 1.From My Jewish Learning (Luke 23:1-2) To subvert the nation is to deny its laws. The second part supports what I said in 4....

Do the examples cited require propositional justification? If so, what is it? I agree, but when he says, as you quoted: It is analogues to the axis of...
