Not sure what to make of that. It's not an argument, so far as it reads. Seems to be just conflating a series of distinct things for no reason.

How so?

You be the sort that talks about the music but don't feel it?

Now you've got a threesome. In my experience that's going to get unmanageably complicated. Think we need to simmer things down.

Picture yourself in what nowadays is called a "flow" state; when you play so smoothly that there is no distinction between you and the guitar; when yo...

@"Joshs"; sure. but Why decided to experience it as outside? Why put in place the subject-object? That's what is here: It's not that you are wrong to ...

It's an odd word. It might have been clearer if we had different words for knowing that and knowing how. If it can't be put into words, then we can't ...

Yes! So say something useful instead. After all, the meaning of an utterance is its use in a game.

Yes, but saying one knows them is also wrong. They just are the case; explanation stops here.

It's the principle of explosion at work. Start with a nonsense like "the thing in itself" and everything follows. That struggling animal moves in resp...

I've found that a better question is to ask how the thing in itself is different from the thing.

Oh. What's odd is that you seem to think that this helps. I don't see how.

There's your problem. There's this thread, for example. While it might arguably be the product of human cognition, it isn't the very same as human cog...

...and...? Or should that be: ...so...?

Again, the best analogue is Antigonish... "Being in itself" is the philosopher's "little man who wasn't there". Kant invented this nonsense. Husserl a...

Perhaps a resuscitation rather than a reincarnation. @"Bartricks" comments distracted me into consideration of paraconsistent logic, so it remains to ...

Thanks for your patience. I remain at a loss to understand the difference between - taking from the thread title - a rule's end for mathematics and an...

I've bolded the bit the is bothersome. A critical technique I've found most helpful is to remove a word and see what remains: Are we aware of what mat...

So, small steps. You or Cavell - not sure which - are differentiating between mathematical rules and grammatical rules. How is this distinction to be ...

Introducing Kripke complicates the issue, in that as one reads your posts it is unclear if you are referring to the orthodox reading of Wittgenstein, ...

Folk 'round here seem to be able to go nowhere without my assistance, mocking or otherwise.

I hadn't noticed it, and have not read Cavell, although I have addressed Kripke's Wittgenstein before. But I'm not sure there is more to be said than ...

Much better.

This thread is now an excellent example of why ordinary language philosophy is both important and useful. Especially the bit about focusing on specifi...

It's always easier to critique something if you commence by misunderstanding it.

Or even this: - in which you seek to set out how we might best deal with the word "consciousness", not by making stuff up, but by looking at how it ha...

Well, the demise of Hegelianism... Or the sustained critique of the Vienna Circle. Or the rejection of referential theories of meaning.

Indeed; and cats can be black.

Yes, you don't. There's one issue.

Me, too.

That would not be correct. The logic being proposed is as formal as any. Indeed; and yet here we have a paraconsistent logic that begins to make sense...

Not loud enough.

This is different. (My bolding). See Paraconsistent Logic

Cheers. My present strategy is to play along with the recording... which of course must only be done while on one's own.

Is it? What is done in calling something evil? The Evil Savage Other as Enemy in Modern U.S. Presidential Discourse SO we can question the extent to w...

Was the irony lost? Apparently so. Suffering is not evil. @"schopenhauer1" can do much more to differentiate these concepts.

Labelling something as evil allows one to place it outside of our considerations... it's just evil, so we needn't give it further consideration. But t...

Pomo got it wrong in an interesting way, and as usual it is up to analytic philosophy to set things straight... after all, that's what it does.
