It's clear in my hardcover version, although I did have to use a magnifying glass.

I'll take exception to this on Wittgenstein's behalf! Whereof one cannot speak... you would have him apply language games?! No, that would be absurd. ...

Possible worlds is a quite different area. It explicitly assumes consistency. This does not. Of course, if this could be made coherent, then it might ...

You are off on your usual pattern of commenting without grasping what is going on. What you wrote here is exactly wrong; it is what has explicitly bee...

I don't agree. There's something important going on here.

High praise, seeing as you would have a better grasp of what it is about than we commoners. I find I had roughly assumed that incoherent and inconsist...

Flat Euclidean space can be seen as a special case in which parallel lines stay the same distance from each other. Consistent mathematics is a special...

That doesn't strike me as a useful. If you want to make use of a many-valued logic, it is perhaps best to do it explicitly.

Unless in can be pointedly inconsistent. Take a look at the articles cited.

We can't talk about evil without reference to Hannah Arendt. Evil is not seeing oneself as having a choice; the obedience of Eichmann the mere uncriti...

You might say that. I couldn't possibly comment.

The states have independent bodies that can investigate public corruption in the civil service and amongst politicians. We need one at Federal level, ...

We already deal effectively with distance, so that's wasn't the issue. The Government is broken. The Liberal Party is a mismatch of conservatives and ...

Two things there that look problematic. "...the objects which sit on the end of those symbols' interpretations..." It seems to me erroneous to think o...

I'm sure we are both being selective as suits us.

At first blush, the former is a fiction, the latter a contradiction.

Too obscure, it seems, for folk to comment on. At stake is the nature of language, or at least the best way to analysis it. Over a hundred years ago -...

Ok, thanks for your work. Glad you found it interesting. I don't agree. Solving crossword puzzles is not time wasted.

Cheers.

I'd rather a direct citation. IF Russell said it, where? It sounds wrong for him.

:rofl:

Really? Where?

Is "paradigm" a cool word again? It was cool for while in the seventies, and eighties, then went into a steep decline for many years, probably due to ...

Historical patriarchy, which your comment reinforced. Submissive would have been a better choice.

No, it doesn't. If you meant passive, why not say passive, instead of the implicitly sexist language you chose? Actually, I would have used "submissiv...

The quote or the relevance...? :wink:

Do you think Bin Laden would agree?

Oddly sexist.

I don't understand the misattribution (I was quoting you), nor the relevance of your comment.

There's a compounding of issues in that post that detracts markedly from any benefit that might accrue from writing a reply. To take the measurement e...

Making a threat of that sort was once an automatic ban. You are on notice.

So we really didn't get anywhere.

Even you don't take your view seriously:

I hope that you can.

Really? Hadn't noticed. :roll:

Oh, sure. Coincidence. A likely story. :wink: I'm wondering if you are happy with Counterpunch obsessing on your thread - it keeps it on the top of th...
