This person is clearly someone with a background in physics. Werner Heisenberg already pointed out in 1927 a massive flaw in the correspondence-theory...
I did not make that conclusion directly based on Gettier's work or examples, but on the argument in the debate.org discussion about JTB: He wrote: Sim...
The meaning of symbols comes from their relationship with other symbols. It is not possible to attribute anything to them because they often do not co...
There used to be this presupposition that if a proposition is (logically) true, there must necessarily exist a proof for it, somewhere to be discovere...
Well, Kant just defines these things: a priori meaning without the use of sensory information and a posteriori, the opposite of that (i.e. empirical)....
Not in a professional sense. Just as a hobby. I would never join the academia. They require a growing amount of ideological orthodoxy from their staff...
That is not exactly what Gödel proved. There are (simple) axiomatic systems that are complete, such as the Presburger arithmetic. Gödel did the follow...
Well, with the entire field of mathematics not being correspondence-theory "true", the "T" in JTB is simply too much of a problem. If math is knowledg...
Our conversation takes place in a virtual world. It is just an elaborate simulation of artifacts of the real, physical world. The "page" you see in fr...
What you see with your own eyes is true, if you are eyes are not lying to you, but it is never provable. Try to (objectively) prove that you are typin...
Provable, according to proof theory, means that the proposition necessarily follows from the construction logic of the world (in which you prove it). ...
Worse than that! It is not even true! It is merely provable (from the construction logic of that abstract, Platonic world). Furthermore, provable and ...
Statements that have no correspondence with the real, physical world are not (necessarily) false. They are simply not "true" as meant in the correspon...
Agreed. However, as long as thought/belief has not been expressed in language, it cannot be communicated unambiguously. We still use lots of body lang...
Gettier concludes that JTB (Justified True Belief) must be JB (Justified Belief). I conclude the same conclusion (JTB --> JB) but for different reason...
The correspondence theory of truth requires some kind of legitimate isomorphism between the true proposition and the history of the universe. Furtherm...
There are other reasons why knowledge is a justified belief and not necessarily a justified true belief. For example, a mathematics theorem is a concl...
> If we assume that philosophers do create new knowledge Philosophers rather discover new questions. Success means that the question can actually be a...
> If we formulate existence as a property of objects, then we must either admit that all objects exist In the real world, you cannot visit all objects...
All elements in religion emerge from its system of rules, assuming that the religion is a system. This system of rules is described in its scriptures,...
