For the third or fourth time, how do you God didn't make contradictions true for everyone except Bartricks? Why arguing with people whom your Lord of ...
July 12, 2021 at 01:44
You're stuck, stumbling, and stalling
July 12, 2021 at 01:42
Wrong again. How do you know your God of relativism hasn't given everyone their own truth. Your "guy at the top" has no logical rules to follow, so th...
July 12, 2021 at 01:38
No. From your ontology on God's nature you have to posit that each person might have their own soliptistic epistemology and truths. So why are you on ...
July 12, 2021 at 01:30
Why are you arguing with people who might have a different epistemology then?
July 12, 2021 at 01:21
Why would you trust aged paper instead of modern brains?
July 12, 2021 at 01:06
How would you know if the law of contradiction changes suddenly? Can it change for you and not us? Why or why not?
July 12, 2021 at 01:04
If there are possible worlds that don't exist these would be ones that God didn't create. He is necessary, not his creations. That is what theism is a...

Could there be a deeper truth about ourselves that always escapes perception? Sartre, Freud, and many others say "yes". That is the in-itself of us. S...

Just wanted to point out that Bartricks couldn't figure out your symbols when they are actually really easy to read even for me who has never studied ...
July 11, 2021 at 17:14
I would add that Bartricks believes in absolute relativism because his God is so powerful it can do a contradiction. He wants to make a nuance that Go...
July 11, 2021 at 03:19
You have a good point. Necessity starts with us instead of realizing some necessary outside ourselves. That's what came to mind when I read your post....

You don't own the Bible, the Bible owns you if you want to sell yourself to it
July 10, 2021 at 23:40
Why would anyone trust ancient religious texts when they are just human writings and contradict each other?
July 10, 2021 at 20:39
I have not contradicted myself. But you say you're right when God might have made you wrong. There is no probability to what God might do in your syst...
July 10, 2021 at 15:45
So the law of contradiction can be set aside for us. So God can make you always wrong and me always right, you bad and me always innocent. God can do ...
July 10, 2021 at 15:16
So how do you know God hasn't made it such that everyone should believe in the law of contradiction except she predestined you to not agree with it in...
July 10, 2021 at 14:55
So maybe God can do everything but doesn't do any contradictions except one: to make Bartricks always wrong. Maybe "she" is out to get you
July 10, 2021 at 14:44
Maybe "God", who you say can do anything, predestined that Banno be right is this discussion and you wrong. But you don't like to be contradicted and ...
July 10, 2021 at 14:40
Why not say that in this world logic applies and in another works something beyond logic could apply, a logic that dovetails our own in a way but is n...
July 10, 2021 at 14:30
The best way to read the Christian bible is to see Jesus as the Anti-christ and the whole thousands of years of "God will save us in the future" being...
July 09, 2021 at 17:02
Hegel writes that way. I read and reread hundreds of pages of such. It's a striking style. Now logic is about the forms of itself and can't comment on...
July 09, 2021 at 01:56
Has modal logic always fail or has it proved something which takes logic to prove? After all logic is about proof
July 09, 2021 at 01:25
Aristotle did, indeed, describe the figures of syllogism just as he did with countless other forms of spirit and nature, but in his metaphysical conce...
July 09, 2021 at 01:10
What I see as the problem with modal logic and the way many posters reason on this forum too is trying to use logic to prove something beyond itself. ...
July 09, 2021 at 00:41
First order logic gets its content from non logic
July 09, 2021 at 00:19
Name one thing in modal logic literature that proved something in philosophy.
July 09, 2021 at 00:18
But logic is about contrapositives, inverse minor premises, ect. It's useful to understand how to understand one's own thinking and map the world, but...
July 09, 2021 at 00:11
All that comes from non logic. ML tries to rule over philosophy like logicism tried to do with math
July 09, 2021 at 00:02
I've been clear but you don't follow. Aristotle had philosophy-like arguments for the first mover, something ML doesn't have. I stated right at the st...
July 08, 2021 at 23:46
Aristotle would never take the ontological argument under consideration. But modal theorists struggle with it nevertheless
July 08, 2021 at 23:21
Those links are about computer science
July 08, 2021 at 23:20
Modal logical leads to it's using the ontological argument. That's the best example of how ML can go to far
July 08, 2021 at 23:12
Ok, well I learn something every day. There might be some of that which would register with me.
July 08, 2021 at 23:01
I didn't say you don't try at philosophy but you've had many discussions with me and to my brain you put things in neat packages. Socrates at the star...
July 08, 2021 at 22:53
There is no need to study logic at all if one can get through and understand Hegel's book on logic
July 08, 2021 at 22:46
Aristotle would not have supported proving anything exists simply from logic structures alone. There are pure Platonic ideas which logic can't touch a...
July 08, 2021 at 22:38
It's your thread but I'm not your student
July 08, 2021 at 22:35
Before you present any model logic you have to prove logic can prove something outside the mind. Can you provide an example? I searched "what had mode...
July 08, 2021 at 22:33
Aristotle is fine but logic is subjective though necessary and doesn't apply in reality. Modal logic is not a philosophically traditional way of think...
July 08, 2021 at 22:31
I was explaining how necessity and contingency are used in traditional philosophy and model logic in totally different ways
July 08, 2021 at 22:24
You don't like philosophy any
July 08, 2021 at 22:23
What if God is the devil?
July 08, 2021 at 22:23
Wikipedia and it's application in articles. Modal Logic is a structural thing and when it says a proposition is necessary or contingent, this is not u...
July 08, 2021 at 22:20
The desk across the room is contingent because it can be destroyed and I will of necessity die if hit by a train. That is science, not logic. Modal lo...
July 08, 2021 at 22:14
Like his dad he had a brain disease. He said truth is not like God but like a woman (and then lists some complaints). His main point is that truth is ...
July 08, 2021 at 22:11
It doesn't apply to reality. God talk is a Platonic discussion, interesting but useless. Can God be infinite without being everything? Can he be neces...
July 08, 2021 at 22:04
Nietzsche has gotten a revival from people listening to Jordon Peterson. Academy of Ideas has lots of videos on N on YouTube which are good
July 08, 2021 at 21:58
N was against science as an idol which could "save" us. Post modernism actually frequently talks about science and how culture colors its conclusions....
July 08, 2021 at 21:57
Then how does modal logic apply to reality. It's concepts are necessity and contingency, neither of which can be proven to apply to the world the way ...
