As I said, you are literally just taking time concept of "belief" (holding some proposition to be true or false) and renaming it "being keen on eviden...
That is completely irrelevant. Scientists *believe* (meaning they hold it to be true) that some such equation is veridical. No one is proposing some c...
Belief no more "permits one to ignore evidence" anymore than your weasel phrase "being keen on evidence" (which is just another way of saying "belief"...
Man are you serious? Being "keen on evidence" literally just means believing what the current evidence seems to indicate. This is hilarious. Evidence ...
This is simply absurd. Beliefs *are* part of science, no matter what asinine claim your favorite science communicator tells you. Scientists, within th...
This is just a stupid thread. A belief is simply a propositional attitude. I.e., what you hold the be true or false. The idea that belief is somehow a...
That's absurd. How on earth are propositions (an abstract object) "matter-based"? Show exactly where a proposition is in the physical world. Relativit...
While you are correct that there is a whole panoply of logics, some formalizing non-explosive inferences from contradictions, and even the truth of co...
Yes and no. SQL's logic is many-valued, but that's not what causes it to violate Excluded Middle. Multiple truth-values causes a violation of the Prin...
Not really. I mean, one can develop a Paraconsistent Logic (including a Paraconsistent meta theory) which has truth tables and which is dialetheic, me...
No. There are scores of deductive logics, many of which violate *any* axiom you can think of. Logics where the Law of Identity is either not present o...
Yes it broke Hilbert's program, but it didn't prove that nothing is consistent in maths. For example, classical propositional logic is provably consis...
Why would we need to presuppose that? For one, logic is *not* a mode of thinking, that's silly. Logic refers to a theory of logical consequence, that ...
I think you're barking up the wrong tree. Nothing in the microscopic world has even been suggested to have an inconsistent nature. Quantum mechanics u...
The claim is circular and kind of ignorant, quite honestly. Dialetheism has been around as a legitimate theory for decades now, as has paraconsistent ...
I'm about to leave for a New Years party, so I don't have the time to get into the nitty-gritty. However, Graham Priest gives a fuller, comprehensive ...
I'm not really sure what you're talking about. Analysis of the Liar sentences, even by strictly Classical Logicians (like Timothy Williamson) use logi...
You didn't provide evidence. Very few people deny that the Liar Paradoxes are contradictions. The point is that, prima facie, they appear to dialethei...
Lol, not sure how I missed that. But that aside, as I said, even Kripke said that his proposed solution was probably suspectible to a Revenge Paradox,...
But *how so* is my question. If it has the same structure as other truth-apt sentences, clearly it's not the syntax which is the issue. There has been...
Again, I'm wondering what the evidence for this is. That it looks no different than other truth-apt sentences would support the claim that it is itsel...
How so? This is why I mentioned the Williamson quote, because the idea that there is a simple solution to this problem is vitiated by the fact that th...
No, because that sentence isn't truth-apt, nor can I see how you could attach a truth predicate to it. Its just a command. The Liar sentences seem no ...
Given the pedigree of the Liar's Paradox, one must be careful in seeking simple, obvious solutions without considering why those solutions haven't gai...
Well so far as I know, Whitehead (from whom the quote originates) was presumably talking about philosophy writ large, not the period between Plato & D...
Well, several years after Frege if you want to get technical (1879 or 80, IIRC). But while Pierce had better contemporary acknowledgements and influen...
Plato. Especially if you take the old Whitehead "footnote to Plato" quote seriously. In terms of modern philosophical discourse, I don't much see the ...
It's obviously Frege in my opinion. Most logicians (so far as I can tell) agree that modern mathematical logic was a huge improvement on Aristotle's l...
