No, it doesn't. It might have been the case now that we didn't know stuff. In some other posibel world we might not have known stuff. Tensed logic, if...
Dryslaw will keep for days. Just slice and mix the cabbage, carrot, add apple and onion and and so on, add a bit of lemon for the acid and keep it in ...
"Wittgenstein was a social conservative… therefore his philosophy supports conservative conclusions." - an instance of the genetic fallacy. Wittgenste...
The philosophically interesting part is the use of erroneous accounts of language, especially flawed accounts of definition, in order to push particul...
...the bit where if you know stuff, then it thereby is possible to know stuff. Yes, it might have been that we did not know stuff, but as things turne...
Curiously, Aristotle was at pains to disagree. Metaphysics ? 3, “Everything that is in actuality is capable of being so; for what is impossible cannot...
Chalmers thinks he’s appealing to private, introspected items. But every scrap of evidence he uses for “shared structure” comes from public behaviour—...
We can go on. Chalmers move is to suppose a structural similarity between the players, that there is a "shared internal geometry" to which terms such ...
If qualia are private, then how is it that you and these others agree about them? How do you know that, when you use the term "qualia", you are all ta...
Nice. Add some cucumber. Interesting to see you use "bell pepper" and not "capsicum". They don't look like bells and they are not peppery, so the term...
I like the slight bitterness of cos; https://www.harrisfarm.com.au/cdn/shop/products/22722-done_937da96b-a7f2-40db-ad9f-c0bbc326d910.jpg?v=1627436138&...
If what you are saying is that if we break the rules, then by that very fact there are indeed rules, then we agree. I want to go a step beyond that, t...
No. I continue to think the qualia are incoherent. In so far as they are private sensations, they are irrelevant, and in so far as they are public, we...
:lol: yes, indeed. If we know that p, then it is possible that we know that p. The alternative... if we know that p, and yet it is not possible that w...
By "tension", you mean that between realism and antirealism? In the end they are two differing grammars, each of some use in their own place. "our ind...
I'm aware that my replies to @"Metaphysician Undercover" are kicking down. In my defence, he interjected himself into a conversation with @"Sirius", a...
Perhaps another way to use AI effectively to do philosophy. ChatGPT now allows group chats. Here's an answer to the conundrum - integrate the AI into ...
I've mentioned how replying to is time consuming. On the bright side, it will help me to achieve my goal of 30k posts before the Great Metempsychosis....
If this were so, you would not know any things that are knowable. :lol: You are treating “Possible to be known” as if it meant “not known”. But if you...
Cheers, @"Philosophim". There's a lot to be getting on with here. First, one point I would make is almost the opposite of your "terms hold personal me...
...and there's the double-down. You, and it seems perhaps , have not understood K(p) and ?K(p). The first is "p is known", the second, "p is knowable"...
Ok. Other anti- realists do. That's rather the point of Fitch's argument. If you suppose that "there is a teapot in orbit between Earth and Mars" is e...
Not even bothering to use the mention function. :roll: This is why I ignore your posts, Meta. What you have said here is simply muddled. It contains, ...
For our purposes, Kp has been understood as "we know p", simplifying the logic somewhat. That's a pretty standard practice. If you like we can indeed ...
I think it a pretty good OP, of a sort. But a part of the issue is the very idea of starting with "explicit meaning in the phrasing of the term". The ...
I think there are vast difficulties with the whole approach to language that you, and most other folk hereabouts, adopt. The presumption that there is...
Cogitophobia. So Chalmers separates first-person access, the subjective, phenomenal, what-it-is-like aspects from the first-person perspective or stan...
