apokrisis

Amusing. To continue, the difference between a Peircean and Wittgensteinian epistemology - or at least Banno's understanding of one - looks to hinge o...

So what Peirce said over 50 years before. :) Or to be more precise, we must begin where we first find ourselves - thrust into the middle of rational i...

So have you sidetracked sufficiently from the original issue which was about the truth or falsity of events either yet to happen or yet to fail to hap...

Whatever.

Shy away from the conclusion, but that’s what you are faced with. Your statement concerns a possibility of which there is as yet no fact of the matter...

Mmm, yeah. You mean that statements are essentially timeless, while the world itself has temporal structure. That is what your critics have been telli...

If both are still possibilities, then neither is yet an actuality. Of course in a block SR, modally realistic, quantum multiverse, the timeless realm ...

Correct. It makes it vague. The PNC fails to apply. At this particular point in time and space. Again, you are simply trying to talk around the diffic...

If you accept the metaphysical extravagance of an SR block universe, then you have no grounds for rejecting those further metaphysical extravagances. ...

Next stop, the quantum multiverse and modal realism.

Yeah. Bring on the soul-stuff. That'll work.

It was an event when it happened. But even then, there was the displacement - the transduction step - which was its recording. The physical event beca...

The past may be certain, but the future is full of possibilities. So if Russell said this, he was surely just giving voice to the widespread confusion...

I'm not sure many maps are crosses and lines. Was Banno thinking of pirate maps? Normally those also have a palm tree and an instruction of how many p...

Yeah. I've said many times now that a dualistic ontology can't cut it. It has to be a triadic relation. So someone has to interpret the map to navigat...

To model the world, we must turn it into a set of measurements. A set of measurements is not the world. It is as simple as that.

Like Banno, whatever makes you happy I guess. I couldn’t even begin to untangle the misconceptions in all that.

I don't think so. It is primarily about making ideas manifest. Matter doesn't actually need to be involved. What matter does poetry depend on? How is ...

Rather than trolling, just deal with the arguments for a change. Hint. Telling me "you have a feeling" is not an argument. It is a confession you just...

So there is matter without form? And do we go to galleries to look at the wonderful pigments, go to concerts to hear the splendid notes? That sounds w...

Of course. Hence why you are already wandering off down a familiar and reassuring seeming path - semiotics as Sausserean dualism. Displacement as what...

Nope. ;)

Well it is the central thing to a semiotic metaphysics. So yeah. A modelling relation with the world is based on the displacement that is the separati...

Err. Pattee's epistemic cut. Rosen's MR systems. Von Neumann's self-reproducing automata. :) If you want the technicalities, look them up.

I'm sure you were making this point. It started back here - https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/145216 But yes, I see Cavacava is too. T...

It is not a flaw but the reason why it works.

Yes. You can keep adding displacement. As much as you want. But that doesn't absolve you of the need to account for that machinery of displacement. Yo...

Except that one is a spatiotemporal occurrence and the other is a timeless assertion. Janus tried to point that out. There is a gap - or epistemic cut...

Again, the complaint I have here is that it fails to distinguish grades of semiosis or "grammatical" structure. So yes, you can look to behaviour as s...

You can see something physical at the heart of aesthetic judgements - natural properties like symmetry, balance, and economy of effort. So there are o...

When you go to the seaside, do your encounter a beach as well as the grains of sand? Think about how you would naturally reply if a friend asked where...

What, the world isn’t structured by categorical relations? The notion of generals and particulars fails the test of naturalness? We are merely imagini...

Same old same old. Get a life.

Huh? That would be interpreting two different languages. And that could well involve the construction of a different sense of being a speaker to speak...

One where everyone shares the exact same interpretations with no personal nuance. But even if you shout "fire", there's always going to be a few wonde...

Do as your professors advise then. Read the paper, put it into your own words, then I will grade you. Or this search gives you 130 hits to explore. ht...

I use it like Pattee. I learnt if from him directly. But if I see you making an effort, of course I would help explain anything you might not understa...

Once more. Please answer the direct question. The corollary was that public language is equally a matter of degree. Are you wanting to say there can b...

Still hoping to be in control of the discursive boundaries? Make this a safe space for that guy Banno? Remove the possibility of his authority being c...

As I said, we would use the resources of the communal language, but would be free to create private words. And what is more germane to my original arg...

Tiresome bullshit. The corollary was that public language is equally a matter of degree. Are you wanting to say there can be no absolutely public lang...

Could you answer the question that was asked, please. What were you agreeing on? The cut is another relative thing, never absolute. And it creates the...

But you could share it with yourself?

Foolish me. I expected that for once you might be trying to engage. We are so quickly back into time-wasting attempts to extract any clarity. So when ...

So you now disagree with yourself? As usual, you chose to be gnomic in your response, leaving others to guess at what you could really mean. The only ...

For the sake of completeness, I should remind that Peirce was famously working on a logic of vagueness. So that was about the unbreaking of broken sym...

Absolutism is always the wrong move. Relativism is the way to go. If you stick to relativism, then you can actually have limits that behave as limits ...

I agree if what you are saying is that reasoning has this natural psychological structure that Peirce describes. The same method applies across the bo...

Well? :)
