(P \ \& \sim P) \supset Q For those who favour inconsistency, anything follows.

That made me laugh. For years I used an inverted version of Bloom's taxonomy for much the same reason: https://ouseful.files.wordpress.com/2014/09/670...

Contrast: One ought have the strength to do the deed out of compassion.

That's not a bad question.

There's a difference between a statement and an utterance. Austin's locution vs. illocution. Electric impulses as a locution, and as an illocution. Pl...

It's found in Frege. I mistakenly assumed familiarity, given that it is so common. I've mentioned it a few times before in this very thread. Here's an...

He'll learn.

Adapted and directed by Jonathan Miller. I'll put it on my watch list.

Jack believed that: the clock is working. The clock = the broken clock Substituting, Jack believed that: the broken clock is working. We know that sub...

Sure. But jack did no believe that: a broken clock was working. All you have done is to stuff up the parsing of Jack's belief. That is, "Jack believed...

What is that belief? I'm at a loss here, my friend. You simply have not given us a belief that cannot be put into the form of a propositional attitude...

again, What here is problematic for beliefs being propositional attitudes? Your point, if there is one, remains hidden.

Yours is a telling analysis, that leaves me somewhat in a state of disbelief - or even grief. Philosophy becoming the poor cousin in academia. But I d...

Jack does not believe that: the broken clock is working.

He believed it was broken? Or he believed it was working?

Yes. dy/dx remains the crunch example. I can't see this discussion making progress... see . There's too much baggage ridding on the investment in chan...

Then so far as I can see you have presented no argument. Jack believed that: the clock showed the correct time. "The clock showed the correct time" is...

But you want to say more than just this, don't you? Somehow this is supposed to show the be;eifs are not propositional. Fill in the gap.

Obviously not. It was intended as a barely concealed insult.

Ah, the Geeks. It seems worthwhile at this point to make reference to my thread on Idiot Greeks.

:roll:

Well, no. Consider this: https://variety.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Escher_DayandNight_CM-C-EscherCompanyB-V-Baarn-1.jpg?w=681&h=383&crop=1&resize...

There is an incipient antirealism at work here. Is it true that there is a change across space? How you know is irrelevant.

Later.

Your last few posts have been incoherent. Wine?

Your question was illformed. Yes, you ought do as you ought, to whomever you meet. You seem to think you asked something more interesting, but you did...

All you seem to be doing here is stipulating that change requires change. If you do that then you are simply placing yourself at odds with everyday us...

Yep. There's perhaps in some an overhang og Christian morality, in which self-harm is frowned upon. But even that relies on one's relationship with an...

With due respect to Kant's eminence: https://i.stack.imgur.com/5chm6.png And yet it changes. So his account is problematic.

Another point worthy of note is the obvious one that what is good is what we ought to do, and what we ought to do is to do good... SO, the answer to "...

In truth, the discussion should have finished at 's \frac{\delta x}{\delta y}, but 's \frac{\Delta C}{\Delta S} makes the same point.

That was quick. Thanks. That's the one.

Indeed, this is apparent. I do not understand how you think like this. You can see that the left of the image is a different colour to the right. I'm ...

Was there a thread about formatting mathematical equations... or did I dream it?

I'm going to have to look into formatting maths.

No.

I meant from left to right. What else?

This from the preson who claims not to know what "...from left to right" means: Come on. https://i.stack.imgur.com/5chm6.png The colour does not chang...

Right. No, not seeing it. How does the damage done to the environment lead to emissions reduction? So as the Earth becomes uninhabitable, the emission...

Your pretence of not understanding is tiresome.

"So emission reduction would have to happen as a consequence of, not as a solution to, the damage done to the environment and atmosphere." I don't see...

As I said, I made the error of thinking you could make an inference, and I apologise. I won't bother you further.

I'm surprised to find this discussion still active. Here's the image again: https://i.stack.imgur.com/5chm6.png The colour does not change over time. ...

My apologies; I hadn't realised you were hard of thinking. In your terms: If somone ponders something, but doesn't commit it, then nothing of moral si...

Still here. I wasn't sure of the import of , and didn't respond. Did you want something?

Sure. But not a moral effect, except as it changes your relation towards others. If someone ponders privately some violent act, say against women, but...

What you do on your own has a moral dimension in virtue of any effect it might have on others, either directly or indirectly. That includes the inclin...

It was on my to do list. You are embedded in a society, surrounded not just by others but in a world that is created by others. The very words you are...

Again, that's merely satisfying one's appetite, and has nothing to do with ethics or morality. Now you are getting there.

We cannot conclude Jack believed that the Fuji apple was on the table - he might have thought it a Jonathan. We cannot always substitute into belief s...
