Analytic/continental - analytic/discursive. Isn't the standard interpretation that Socrates was analytic, but Plato's version him was discursive? that...

Nuh. Stirring the possum. I'm Reading Grayling's History of philosophy. I love the quote "[AP} is not really a new style, except in one particular, wh...

Yeah - I agree. Is that enough?

Dot point lists in the lead? Ugly. That's a start.

So.... Other branches of philosophy don't do this?

I've been vandalising Wiki for longer than I care to contemplate. Successfully, since many articles there have had my words for quite a while. Perhaps...

, Isn't the juxtaposition between analytic and continental a bit trite? Does analytic philosophy have to be defined in contrast only to continental ph...

So... You are an Australian Aboriginal?

We need volunteer fire fighters. Have a go. Being shit scared in a fire storm that can flip a ten ton water truck on its roof makes it hard to doubt y...

more, as in, who is asking?

Help who?

...except that this is an intro; keep it simple. But that discussion of the logic of falsification has been removed from the article is one of the thi...

:up: That's true. I might try drawing attention to the page on the philosophy project... I'm the only one editing the article at present, so the objec...

Yeah, me neither. Hence this thread.

Yeah - but what about them...

But that doesn't say what falsifiability is.

Cool. I'm thinking Falsifiable is potentially false.

You can't prove it to be true. But your assertion means you have not read Popper. Hence, you can be of little help here. Don't be offended. You are no...

...reality.

Of course it is incomplete. See the context. Your alternative?

But the bold bit is wrong.

Might work with a follow on about non-falisfiable... SO U(x)f(x) - all swans are white - falsifiable ?(x)f(x) - this is a white swan - verifiable

Which is to say, she was Catholic...

:cool: It works, but I don't think it would last the test of time. Best propper answer so far, though.

I agree. In the end, so far as there is one on Wikipedia, hypothesis was changed to claim - which will end that part of the debate, at th expense of e...

Ten words or less?

That does not look to me to be even a sentence.

Interesting. Are there examples where it doesn't?

I did some research and - of course - "a" is a now accepted American mispronunciation. "an" it is.

so "An 'ypothesis" it is!

so.... Think of this as what appears if you were reading an article and came across "...falsifiability..." in an article, and you selected it and clic...

ah, fair point.

I don't see it working. To much of a difference in temperament. But it is an interesting, and falsifiable, hypothesis. Thinking.... Edit: https://thep...

There's work being done on Wikipedia's article on Falsifiability at present.

What the fuck? Do some physics, you lot.

Who gives a fuck.

Are you asking us how to use the word colour, or how to use the word exist? One or the other.

I'm certain I can flip an omelet. Yep. Not a problem.

Done. Yep. So we agree.

...and then you try to demonstrate this, using patterns... Cutting out the slack, I'm pointing out that the private language argument shows that the w...

Trivially, yes: "I flip the omelette". I suppose you want more detail. But then the question becomes: how much detail will suffice? What is to count a...

My my, how inordinately complicated. I am certain I can flip an omelet. So, if I understand you aright, you claim that I can be certain I can flip an ...

I don't think I disagree with any of what you said; but I'm not sure, 'cause I'm not sure what it is you are arguing. Do you think that there is some ...

You can't even tell me what it is you can't say, so don't try.

I'm not going to talk about things we can't talk about. I suggest you don't, either. It's a very common problem for philosophers, easily remedied. So,...

Something we know but do not know that we know? Then, by JTB, it is believed, but we do not believe that we believe it. The scope of each belief state...

"It's certain, but I do not believe it" is a performative contradiction.

@"god must be atheist" Those last few posts of yours are terrible. They make no sense.

How would that work? Are you claiming that a belief is always a belief that such-and-such is true? That's what I've long claimed. What more is there t...
