Wittgenstein

Well l kind of agree and disagree with you, I can see people not having any regards for a moral obligation and in that sense, they obviously don't vie...

I would not consider them moral stances, but if someone else wants to, they can but they need to show how a moral stance is not duty oriented. Could y...

Well you are pretty close to kantian except Kant wants an individual to prioritize and perform his duties considering the hypothesis if everyone was t...

Simply because it emphasizes the act rather then the consequence.It is different from consequentialism. I'm just discussing an aspect of Kantian ethic...

What do you consider as duties ? Well can you illuminate us about justice in the context of case 1 ?

Really interesting. But we will have trouble obtaining universal moral values , for example ( taking away an innocent life is evil ) as we can argue t...

The closest Kant got to it was distinguishing duties as between perfect and imperfect duties. A perfect duty, such as the duty not to lie, always hold...

I wasn't objecting to a countable set, but to an uncountable set. Nevertheless both are infinite sets.

There is something called nuclear mass defect, where the whole is not equal to parts, the total mass of the parts is greater than mass of the whole af...

Well if you consider every particles to have weight as property, photons dont. If you are using the term weight strictly, in space we can be weightles...

I am terrible at explaining things but at same time I am wondering which one is that which you dont understand. Can you quote it.

But in the galois field, they treat the segment made of points but don't use infinite sets, the one mentioned in the article.Can you send me any artic...

I think our discussion will verge on civil laws here, the main argument against that would take the form of slippery slope argument.We cannot allow pe...

I would disagree since duties can be confronted by other constraints such as health,finance,weather etc. It is really rare to have a moral dilemma fro...

I think this is a very important observation which you have made, i.e distinguishing morality and ethics. I think we should be concerned with ethics s...

If l can recall Wittgensteins remarks My humble take on this is, what is wittgenstein saying by using the word true, is he equating provable with true...

I am unfamiliar with C programming and l would feel comfortable to relate a similar problem in applied mathematics, sometimes in mathematical modeling...

If you want to reconcile geometrical objects with only finite sets, this approach has been used.To quote from the article mentioned below, Further mor...

\sum_{n=1}^{n=infinity} \frac{-1^n}{n} , as you can see in this series we have not indexed the set using negative numbers, and l think the series will...

\sum_{n=1}^{n=\infty} \frac{-1^n}{n}

\sum_{i=1}^{i=n} \frac{-1^n}{n}

\sum_{i=1}^{i=n}

Cool

~~Mephist~~ I agree that we add segments to obtain a segment, however l have two questions : 1.If the segment is not made up of points, is it a non ze...

No wonder Wittgenstein was suicidal. My goodness, you tried to tear me into pieces. Since we are talking about earlier Wittgenstein, this was before G...

Russell had the heart to win the fight while Nietzsche had a mental breakdown upon seeing a horse being beaten. But Russell was good at seducing too a...

There is an infinite possibility of line segments with different lengths but if we were to join them, we would never complete the task(if we add ever ...

Tractatus is really austere and it is truly a work of art like a sculpture, Wittgenstein left the crystallized part and when l first read Tractatus, I...

I would like to read some poetry, as I did back then when the Viena Circle troubled me, and misunderstood all l had said or perhaps what l had not sai...

But we can still have certainty in the knowledge of mathematics and science according to logical positivists. This movement has died but it is neverth...

To be honest and fair, I have not understood a single sentence written by the the questioner.
