Isn't it more that is can't be useful? But any behaviour can be made to match any rule. Just play with the constraints. Further, the Übermensch need n...
Behaving in a systematic, rule-guided way does not appear to be a characteristic he admired. Being admirable, was. Thanks for your contribution. Just....
So an act's being moral is hidden, private - and hence irrelevant. Between you and your maker, I suppose. The private rule is that one ought act with ...
A rule that cannot be stated. I really have no idea how such a thing could be made coherent. SO I guess we can leave that aside. A rule that might be ...
According to the private language argument following a private rule is incoherent. There could be no criteria for doing so. SO that's the direction he...
@"Moliere" - thanks for you reply, you can see the issue. We choose, and choose agin and again. If that choice follows a pattern, it follows a rule. B...
That's it. Nietzsche could have no criteria for correctness in his moral principles. That's different, it seems to me, to Satre, who publicly stated s...
the arguments against a private language are a specific form of a more general argument against private rules. A rule that was unstated, internal, not...
Yep. We will disagree on rules, since private rules are not rules or not private. That's another discussion. What's interesting here, at least for me,...

And how is this different from how we judge the cup to be blue? We look at the cup and judge it to be blue. We look at the broken pup and judge it to ...
We are embedded in the world. Claiming that what we ought do is strictly mental, denies this. It's wrong. We have to look around. Some folk get obsess...
Well, go on, then. But do so with an eye on my reply, which will be to take your explanation and paraphrase it into the discussion of the pup - again....
(my bolding). You assume that it is either mental or not mental; that's the same as assuming it is either subjective or objective. But being blue is n...
And that's the same as saying "you can't just say that the cup is blue". I can, and indeed we must, in order to explain just what property it is, how ...
Me? Again, i would just throw the open question argument back at you.It shows that there is something more fundamental than the most common, cross-cul...
I thought so, too. But apparently not. You see, the upshot of the argument is that rational leaders in an organisation ought do as little as possible....
