That's an interesting way of seeing it. There may be two different presentations of "the world" going on. Under one interpretation, a collective agree...

Ah right. I think one reason it has that status in my mind is that I'm not used to it, so when I read it it occupies the same space as "raw", like "ra...

Hink-a-fucking-dory eh. That's cool. By their powers combined they're almost the standard version!

That almost sounds Latin lol. Aye. Do you lot use it as a superlative too though? Like "teuchter" vs "ra teuchter"? I feel there is a difference. :rof...

Growing up I heard "tink", "thunk", "tenk" and "think". Also "thot" but that means something different now.

Mad Galloway Irish cunt here. Stranraer.

I keep thinking "up the ra" when you're writing "ra", it's been a while since I've seen someone using "ra" in text.

Naw, ye can ye wi oot the r if ye fae oot Glasgae. Ye Glasgae pricks tink ye goat definitive Scots like Queen's English.

Nae wunner ye patter's rotten.

Whaur ye fae?

Talkin pish.

Each of the questions contains at least one largely uncharacterised big term, like "selfish", "objective", "subjective" , "free will" and "illusion". ...

Yes. I appreciate that was badly written. There's a model in the sense that there are individual interpretations of a single in principle shareable re...

The latter, there's no model in the sense that there's no mediation of contact between word and world via a "conceptual scheme", which is a system of ...

Another spitball from the side, maybe memory is a central concept because it taps into a bodily process which imbues agents with repeatable dispositio...

The ethical concerns regarding proper treatment of others in discourse aside, I spelled out a similar distaste for the idea to @"Banno" earlier in the...

I don't think it fits neatly into either. You can't do an experiment to see what interpretive frame is appropriate for a task. There's no manual for r...

I think this is very perceptive, observations, introspection on experience, scientific data and what makes sense to believe is common knowledge seem q...

Assuming you are still baffled and this isn't a rhetorical gesture. A common reference point would probably be the idea that perceptions are cognitive...

I think you're construing the discussion as introspecting about the nature of mental states, whereas (if I'm following), when it relies on introspecti...

No worries, if you feel like making a thread about it, it would be a good discussion. Isaac vs the very idea of analysing concepts in philosophy!

I think going into this would derail the thread. If you want an answer to it, I'd gesture towards that analysing concepts and comparing intuitions doe...

I think I misread @"Moliere" actually, am I right in thinking that your account places less stress on beliefs being mental states, and more on the pro...

That's an interesting contrast. It looks to me like @"Moliere" is construing a belief as an ephemeral mental state, whereas @"Srap Tasmaner" is constr...

Makes sense. I think that's a worthwhile thing to do Srap. I wanted to put that there largely to muddy the waters, so we don't lose track entirely of ...

The man's a philostudpher.

Also, thanks for the "nice". : D

Yes, and often the best way to maximise agreement is to gently focus on vital contrasts. Like relevance and intelligibility being cognitive, conceptua...

I don't really have an account of disagreement. Just some remarks. Probably somewhat close to @"Joshs" here. If people can disagree on whether somethi...

Seems like a good angle of approach to me. I think it's a good way into the role truth - or like concepts such as accuracy and felicity - might play i...

Makes sense, cheers. Question though. The source uses the word "correspondence" in the context of mapping expressions of language and concerned object...

@"Srap Tasmaner" If there's confusion about what I meant with "exterior" in the scare quotes, what I meant was the usual 'things are they are in thems...

I'm glad you knew what I meant!

Makes sense! I took too many liberties there.

Go read "On the Very Idea of a Conceptual Scheme" to find out why not!

I don't think @"Banno" sees it like this, but I think Davidson is quite close to Kant on this 'access to exterior reality' point. Language plays a reg...

This a "No uninterpreted reality" thingybob? From On the Very Idea of a Conceptual Scheme.

I see what you mean I think! Would like to see a discussion on how the RHS relates to the world, and how it differs to correspondence.

Eh, an understanding that the RHS of the T-sentence is identical to the world is a metaphysical position, it would be demonstrated by an argument in p...

I think there's a difference, or at least a reason to be suspicious of one. When you disquote a sentence, you still end up with a sentence. But when y...

Absolutely. And it's the identity of the right hand side and the world which is at stake.

I think so. Imagine that "x" is true iff P and "y" is true iff P, then "x" and "y" are truth functionally equivalent but not necessarily identical. An...

There's a whole theory about the relationship of the RHS to the world which needs to be exposited for that demonstration to go through!

Quibbling on it, is it identical to a fact or is it equivalent to one? Given that we already know the RHS is not the world, it's a proposition.

Semantics for sentence fragments, imperatives, tones, wails, murmurs. SEP notes about formal approaches to semantics(specifically Montague's): At most...

Also thanks. Over the years we've read and annotated decent chunk of Davidson in threads like this one. Wouldn't've studied him if you weren't a fan!

Knowing how to map the extensional equivalence itself to an intended interpretation. When a given person writes a correct extensional equivalence, the...

Makes sense! Thank you for the clarification.

Very cool. Thank you!

I getcha. I was focussing too much on the theory terminating through deflation (no more needs be said), rather than (no more needs be said (because th...
