Sure. I situate logic differently in that logic is an accounting practice. When taking account of that which already existed in its entirety prior to ...
That would need to be done with normal everyday language use. T sentences are shorthand. I've an issue with the very notion of propositions, so clearl...
The original use of "true" was set out earlier by me, and it meant consistent with what occurred. I personally do not employ the notion of "fact" beca...
The etymology is interesting, because the term "true" was first used in the sense of being consistent with what has/had occurred, long prior to the te...
Yeah, I think that that is a key consideration here. Logic is an accounting practice of that which already existed in its entirety prior to being take...
I want to run something by you and any others who may be reading this. The most common Old English use had it that truth was the quality of being stea...
Probably best not to delve too deeply into belief though, given this is a thread about truth. Well... Unless that is, truth emerges within some langua...
I'll have to read it then. His notion of "proposition" must be notably different to yours in that they cannot be equivalent to statements or assertion...
Searle employs the objective/subjective dichotomy in interesting ways when he draws a distinction between using them in an epistemic sense and an onto...
For the casual readers' sake alone... A cat's belief that a dog is in the house is not an attitude that the cat has towards the proposition "a dog is ...
Here I was hoping to attain mutual concessions in order to further the discussion beyond the sticking points we always seem to arrive at. I am willing...
Our report of a cat's belief comes in propositional form. Cats cannot have attitudes towards propositions such that they take them to be true. You kno...
Perhaps. I think Searle has it right when he talks about the mistakes that have been repeated, in some form or another, for hundreds and hundreds of y...
Hey Sam! Indeed. It's puzzling how a child that can barely string two or three words together knew when she heard the claim that it was not true, and ...
This is about our accounting practices. It restricts and/or limits all belief to propositional attitudes. While this is little to no problem at all if...
A twenty-seven-month-old child can know when "there's nothing in there" is false, when the speaker is talking about a fridge. I gave that real life ex...
The fridge had stuff in it. Someone stated, "there's nothing in there", talking about the fridge. The statement was false. The child knew that the sta...
No need to assume that they're lying... They could be very confused about what sorts of things can be true and what it takes in order for them to be s...
Insincerity pervades everyday discourse, I find it highly suspicious for anyone who knows what "the cat is on the mat" means to deny that it is true o...
I find it quite telling that a twenty-seven-month-old child knows when "there's nothing in the fridge" is false, and so many 'highly educated' adults ...
The irony. Pots and kettles once again. I've had many discussions over the years with different people who talk like that. I knew some of them quite p...
Mirror mirror... Pots and kettles... I'm not defining terms for them. I have no issue at all with acknowledging different accepted uses. You seem a li...
That claim is not at odds with disagreeing about the claim. The point is that we all know full well what it takes in order for the statement to be tru...
Take the statement "the cat is on the mat". We all know full well when it's not true, because we also know full well what it means. Because we know wh...
My understanding of truth, how it emerges, and how it works within all thought, belief, and statements thereof is not exactly conventional. Correspond...
Properly implementing the approach requires drawing and maintaining the distinction between language less thought and belief and thought and belief th...
