It's worth mentioning here that I reject many an historical dichotomy when it comes to the ontological basis for my position; they're found sorely lac...

Probably, unless there are human artifacts which are somehow not existentially dependent upon language. It's the existential dependency upon language ...

To be fair, the above words are mine, and they're misleading at best, and downright false at worst. I have now explained it, so. My apologies for what...

The confusion is understandable. The position I argue for/from is quite unusual/unconventional in some ways and includes subtle details that are cruci...

No offense taken. No worries. I'm very well aware of how unorthodox my views are. I've been working out the kinks for nearly two decades. Further expl...

Yeah. I read that thread, and followed it fairly closely. It was an interesting thread.

Interesting reply given the context. What are you wanting to know? :brow: Are you looking for an ontological basis or terminological framework upon wh...

Yup. I'm aware of this dogma. So much the worse for convention. In what sensible way can an unarticulated proposition be said to exist? What does a pr...

A cat can think/believe that a mouse is on the mat. The content of the cat's thought/belief includes the mouse(which is not existentially dependent up...

I would ask that question to anyone claiming that there is such thing as an unarticulated proposition. By my lights, it exposes an emaciated ontologic...

Establish and maintain consistency/coherence(lack of self-contradiction).

Sort of. The content of a language less creature's thought and belief can include/consist of stuff that is existentially dependent upon language.

The theory laden nature of these discussions you mentioned as necessary in the OP is showing up here. What does an unarticulated proposition consist o...

Given the direction of our discussion, it's worth saying that the linguistic/nonlinguistic dichotomy is incapable of taking proper account of language...

Propositions are existentially dependent upon language. Where there has never been language, there could have never been propositions. I'm not sure if...

I reject phenomenology.

On my view, thought and/or belief cannot be reduced in/to purely physical terms or mental terms. That is because thought and belief consist in part of...

A non-linguistic inference/conclusion is one that is arrived at via a language less creature. In this example, the creature recognizes/attributes caus...

The summary above points towards the general thrust. Not all belief is propositional in content. There's a lot packed up in there. The taxonomy of bel...

My own objections to Gettier's Case I and II, as well as the cottage industry cases, serve as prima facie evidence that one can know the rules and not...

There is a large number of bright interesting people here.

:cool:

I apologize for any inconvenience or distraction, my friend. I just wondered if Russell's approach was applicable to the issue I raised regarding what...

And yet, the two have very different truth conditions Banno. "The man with ten coins in his pocket will get the job" is true regardless of which man g...

Awww. I'm sorry.

I had it backwards(again), but corrected it while you were replying. I suppose it's hard for me to accept that Smith would count the coins in Jones' p...

I made a point to mention the lack of need for a language speaker because it seemed germane to the commonly held belief that propositions are equivale...

I would hesitate at that. I'm not a huge fan of the so called 'logical rules of entailment', because they do not preserve truth(as a result of allowin...

I don't have much time nowadays, which is good, but what I had in mind fit into the truth as satisfaction aspect as well as being germane to issues wi...

When a young child touches fire, they immediately infer that touching the fire is what caused the pain. The effect/affect is that they form the belief...

I merely asked a question. You did the shewing. :wink:

Hi J. The topic has been one of historical interest for myself. Has the thread met your expectations, assuming you had any? Seems that it may be the c...

Hi Banno! Hope you are doing well. So, I'm wondering if this new critique of entailment could be applied to Gettier's two cases? That may be different...

Yes. Kant's problem as well.

Yes. Insight results from thinking, which AI is incapable of doing. Noam Chomsky called the LLM's glorified plagiarism. I agree.

Well put.

A lot of people are very unhappy with/in Trump's 'kingdom'. The road to Trump has been paved over long periods of time. American political corruption ...

For Trump to begin his 'liberation' speech by blaming foreigners for the loss of good paying manufacturing and skilled trades jobs shows either his co...

Bold to increase it by giving huge tax cuts for those who already have the most. Bold to try to pay for that loss by cutting social services and makin...

Right. That's it. Her belief is no longer true. Hence, it no longer counts as knowledge even though it once did and was. What's the problem? :worry:

Not a problem. Real life pressing matters are more important than our discussions on this forum

I have no clue what that's supposed to mean.

Cheers. Sleep. Until next time. Be well.

What was Smith's belief at the moment he formed it? He believed "Jones owns a Ford, or Brown is in Barcelona" was true because Jones owned a Ford.

No, it's not. I don't think you understand. I'll elaborate a bit more. That story shows how/that we can indeed believe a broken clock is working despi...

It means that belief about what's happened and/or is happening can be true/false, whereas belief about what will happen later can only be capable of b...

On my view, as it pertains to the temporal aspect, the first case is quite different from the second in that he former is the sort of claim that canno...

I argue in favor of JTB. The account differs tremendously from historical convention though, in that I do not treat belief and propositions as equival...

At time t1(the duration of trusting the broken clock) S cannot admit of believing that a broken clock is working. They don't know they do. At time t2(...
