There's nothing at all problematic about metacognitive endeavors which point out the simplest of details such as a true belief cannot be false; a fals...
When an author is critiquing something other than what I've wrote, and/or something that quite simply does not follow from what I wrote, it is an irre...
An astute reader with a keen eye will surely note that the critique in the post prior to this one, while seemingly reasonable, particularly at first b...
If all propositions can possibly be either true or false, and false belief cannot possibly be true, then propositions are not equivalent to false beli...
The irony. At time t1, an individual capable of telling time wonders what time it is. Like all other folk who know how to read the hands of a clock, t...
At time t1, an individual capable of telling time wonders what time it is. Like all other folk who know how to read the hands of a clock, they look to...
A gifted shitshow consisting of a gross misattribution of meaning bordering on deliberate obfuscation... I've much more important matters to be involv...
This notion of "belief" cannot take account of language less, mistaken, and/or false belief. A mistaken creature's point of view does not - dare I say...
Cats sometimes believe that a mouse ran behind a tree... It makes no sense at all to me to say that the cat's belief has content that expresses the ca...
Maybe I am right if you do not. :brow: A true belief cannot be false. A false belief cannot be true. It is impossible to knowingly be mistaken. It is ...
Either works for me. I'm not picky about it. The only difference is that one is more general while the other(the one you prefer) is about a particular...
We cannot knowingly believe that a broken clock is working. :yikes: See above. There is no need for further explanation. I've more than adequately exp...
Well yes and no. Jack cannot knowingly believe "that broken clock is working" is true, because it is a contradiction in terms, necessarily false, etc....
Jack believes that broken clock is working. The above report is in proper linguistic form. It is accurate. It is true. It is impossible to knowingly b...
That's not true. You're mistaken. I'll answer whatever questions you like, so long as they follow from what I'm arguing or are just plain ole simple q...
No, I'm not. No, it is not. You are conflating the content of my report with the content of Jack's belief. The content of Jack's belief are correlatio...
Logical notation? The form of belief attribution? "The logic"??? How can anyone establish what counts as acceptable and/or unacceptable attribution of...
The former includes propositions. The latter does not. While words are not propositions, on my view, the content of Jack's belief is not words either....
Sure it can adequately express a case of ignorance. I mean, it is impossible to knowingly believe that broken clock is working(treat this as if we are...
If it were the case that, at time t1, Jack's belief was "a clock is working", then Jack's belief would be true, because somewhere at that time, a cloc...
Belief that does not consist of propositions consists of other things... trees and mice and spatiotemporal relationships between them... for example. ...
If any of that or all of that and possibly more leads you to believe that the content of Jack's belief cannot be a broken clock, in large part at leas...
We have the ability to use propositions to talk about Jack's belief, as well as language less creatures'. It does not follow that the belief is propos...
What seems to be an underlying issue here is whether or not it makes sense for me to say that at time t1, Jack believes that a broken clock is working...
I'm not even sure what that is supposed to mean, so I hesitate to answer either way. The matter under contention was whether or not all belief content...
It's about belief. Get that wrong and you have gotten all sorts of things wrong. I could not care less about the failings of convention. It just so ha...
