So does that account instead describe deduction as being central to the development of the thinking involved? I think not. Newton's theory of universa...
Yep. It is an interesting exercise to imagine seeing any object from every perspective possible. So Ayers Rock from the inside, from every distance ou...
Sure. If you have a theory of abstract reference frames then you can add the further constraint that it’s distances are ruled off in terms of some arb...
More weirdness. Banno is told how it works. Inductive thought is about the creative leap from the particular instance to the general rule. Peirce then...
LOL. But Banno covered that already.... "How we measure that, from base or sea level or your nose or whatever - is up to us." So apparently the number...
Why mention the three things of the world, the sign and the interpretant then? Is this why you don't get triadic ontologies? You struggle with the cou...
Rather than just answer with the same repeated misrepresentation, answer the question as it was posed. Or show where the literature of Pragmatism supp...
I'm going to lunch. When I get back, I expect a post that is something worth a response. In what sense is "height" real? Sure there is a world out the...
Well I made my arguments. I also commented on what you had to say about yours, even though I had to pull it in from elsewhere. You have said nothing s...
But it was you who made a fuss about my use of "form of life". You asked - confusingly - whether that was an insult (to aborigines?) or gratuitous (so...
Gratuitous? That I used the appropriate Wittgensteinian terminology? You really need to make up your mind. Either I'm guilty of being dogmatically Pei...
So you are a pain realist? It exists in the physical world? Throw the rock at a wall and pain is also going to occur as a consequence? Not a lot of th...
Again, the difference is that my approach speaks about "the world that has us in it". It makes it explicit that "truth" applies to a modelling relatio...
Sufficiently similar for whom? Again, the world does not arbitrate in the absolute way you want to suggest. There has to a self with a purpose at the ...
Continuing the effort to flush out the contrasting epistemic positions here - not being one to bottle a debate - we can see that Banno is channeling t...
Yep. And thank goodness our brains can work like that. There is a natural way to reason, as evolution shows. The question is why for a minute would yo...
C'mon Banno. This is laughably awful. Remember, it is me who is putting forward a "theory of truth" that explains why language games have this kind of...
...bear in mind that you seem to be sometimes adding the clause "give or take a bit", and so making a probabilistic statement about the Eiffel Tower. ...
So I have to provide definitions and you get to hide behind commonsense usage? Seems legit. :) Again, how could that be the case in your world of no d...
Again, what do you mean by "true"? You want to make a naive realist point without having to defend doing that. So that is the dodge I always pull you ...
For fun, as you won't ever set out a counter position when making your scoffing noises about mine, let's take this profile statement you make. Now let...
That could depend on how you are defining truth, Banno. So how are you defining truth? If you think I am not offering a theory of truth, how could I p...
Not a problem. That's what I say. Pragmatism is a theory of justified belief - as well as a theory of how the notion of objective truth is a naive rea...
Those are just your misreprentations of what I have said. And I’ve corrected you on them often enough. Truth is what we believe in the long run follow...
So if it ain't inductive and it ain't deductive, then how is the decision "rational"? Surely the whole bleeding point of epistemology - a theory of tr...
Odd. First you promise that you will be getting back to me with a proper reply and then you edit your message to tell me to look up transcendental arg...
It's hard to be sure how to interpret this bizzarely incoherent sentence. But how would it be a problem if there were some transcendental argument in ...
To remind you, here was a fulsome reply. Now rather than doing your usual of pretending it wasn’t said, then coming in later with claims of a refusal ...
Yeah. It would be useful if you could decide how you approach hinge propositions given your comments about me. But I fully expect you to take rapid ev...
To deal with this one last misrepresentation, the logic you are talking about is designed for dealing with the particular or individuated. So of cours...
That is why Peirce was concerned with the proper grammar of reasoning. You need to wrap the deductive bit in the preface of an abduction and the concl...
