While it's true that many of our convictions are hinges (basic beliefs), I wouldn't use "system of convictions," and Witt never used this wording. He ...
Wittgenstein pointed out in several instances that Moore's use of "I know..." is more like an expression of a conviction, it's not that JTB is incompl...
I'm sure he didn't align himself with the traditional accounts of JTB. So, no, I don't think he would agree with traditional JTB. This was acknowledge...
Sorry Josh, but I never said anything about a "system of convictions." You're confusing what I said about Moore's use of "I know..." (which is more li...
If read closely, much of what I've written implies that Wittgenstein's OC enhances the traditional view of knowledge as JTB. I believe that JTB is sti...
No problem Banno, and thanks for the kind words. I tried to capture what I thought was Witt's thinking. I'm sure I did in many ways but failed in othe...
My account of JTB is a bit more nuanced than what you might normally hear from those who hold to JTB. For e.g., there are different language games tha...
C1 is an intermediate conclusion and C4 in the final conclusion. Of course, there are different theories of knowledge, but since Witt is generally dea...
So, what would a logical argument look like in favor of my interpretation of Wittgenstein’s hinge propositions? P1: All knowledge in the traditional e...
Where we seem to disagree is on the idea that "One can only have justified true beliefs if there are truths." Obviously this is true, but this doesn't...
You didn't direct this at me, but I wanted to respond. Yes, they're examples of hinges. However, certain hinges (basic beliefs) provide the framework ...
OC 291 is just Witt reiterating that some truths about the world are just part of the framework or foundation of understanding. They're not questioned...
The way I explain Moore's confusion, which is Witt's point, Moore's use of know is more akin to an expression of a conviction. In other words, a subje...
Yes, you are correct; it's not the same. However, any system, whether epistemological (JTB) or formal mathematical systems, will have hinges (hereafte...
Hinges aren't true in the epistemological sense, i.e., justified and true. However, one can use the concept of true in other ways, just as the concept...
This is one of the main points of OC. We often refer to things as true without being justified, just as we can use the word know without it being JTB....
You still don't seem to follow my points. Of course, they could be used in arguments. We can talk about their truth values just as we can talk about t...
I'll comment on this: I'm not sure why you would say this, viz., "Hinge propositions are said, but never quite rightly." They are often mischaracteriz...
The Practicality of Understanding Hinges Wittgenstein's hinge propositions (hereafter known as basic beliefs) from On Certainty offer profound insight...
Let me explain this idea more simply: Again, thinking about the rules of chess. When we assert that "bishops move diagonally," this isn't something we...
So, hinge propositions (bedrock beliefs) are outside our epistemological framework (JTB), which means that hinges aren't known in the epistemological ...
In Wittgenstein’s final work, OC, he grappled with the fundamental ideas of knowledge (JTB), certainty, doubt, truth, and others. This was in response...
I’ve been thinking about expressing Wittgenstein’s hinges in terms of types. For example… 1. Types of Hinges • Pre-linguistic beliefs (shown in our ac...

What might an outline of a theory of knowledge look like in my interpretation of OC? A Layered Theory of Epistemic Foundations 1. Foundation Layer: Pr...
Key Themes of Thread: 1. Context and Purpose • On Certainty is Wittgenstein’s response to G.E. Moore's papers Proof of an External World and A Defense...
Thanks, I listened to most of it and there's not anything new there. There are many more interesting videos on the topic. I've been listening to Dr. B...
I don't use LLMs to write my posts. I quoted the LLM's answer to a question. Isn't this like quoting a paper or book? Do you want me to delete the pos...
