Genuine clarity between and/or regarding what, exactly? Two problems immediately come to mind. First, there are multiple different accepted uses/sense...

From the Cavell paper "Must We Mean What We say?"... I've bolded and italicized the portions above which piqued my interest. Whether or not we can kno...

I thought the argument was clear. You claimed that standards do not have any existence outside of their use. I argued that they are not always used, d...

So, by the way you define a law of Reason, there is a God. In other words, as you've noted, instructions presuppose an instructor. If the bone of cont...

Weird that you'd hold up a physical permanent connection such as conjoined twins as your example of what ought count as "our shared lives". Quite sad ...

:rofl: Well, the Mac I use is not that antiquated, but thank you very much for that providing link. In general, without yet having read the article yo...

Must be closer to needing a new computer to play around with. This one is corrupted, I suppose. This forum is about the only place that it is possible...

Meta either cannot or will not set aside his framework, and thus either cannot or will not understand another's if it is too different from the one he...

Do you have another link to the paper that's more friendly towards my antiquated mac?

It certainly matters. I'm in dire need of getting over the the name of the method, and looking more towards understanding the benefits thereof a bit b...

Not interested. I've argued extensively on this matter.

Beliefs are not the sort of things that have spatiotemporal location.

Regarding the rules of language games... One need not know or interpret the rules to learn them. The knowing is shown in the using. We do not call tre...

Moving the goalposts. Written standards can exist outside of being used, and be perfectly meaningful in doing so. They can be unambiguous and not foll...

Neither. :brow:

Witt did not have a good grasp upon human thought and belief. Otherwise, he would not be looking for "hinge propositions" as the 'bedrock'. "All doubt...

Regarding ordinary language... I'm all for striving to use as much common language as possible to explain something or other. The simpler the better a...

Being written is not equivalent to being used when it comes to standards. Being written is most certainly a way of existing. Interaction theory, if yo...

That reminds me of the target of Davidson's paper on malapropisms... what counts as having a language and/or successful communication, conventionally ...

In order to understand another thinker, another worldview, another's world, their meaning, their behaviours, their aims, their desires, their fears, t...

We're pretty far apart...

Seems quite an irrational move, remarkably so even, given that ordinary language is one of many irrevocably crucial elemental constituents of ordinary...

We can think about something without believing it. So, they are different. However, the process of believing is fundamentally the same as thinking. Bo...

Presupposing... ...that there is only one connection between logic and reality... ...is a problem.

Hey Jeep! :smile: Hope life is treating you kindly.

If legitimacy is attributed to different things that follow the rules that govern how we behave in our lives(the laws of the land), if it is what we s...

Not all things genuine, real, or authentic are also legal. Sounds false to me.

Do you agree with the above, as it is written?

Because it's good to have a good time. Enjoi your beer, and don't forget to tip your bartender and wear your mask... :mask:

Of course. My beliefs about my cat include the cat. A visual of a cat may not. Lazy thinking? Pfft. :zip:

I wonder. What are the environmental consequences of doing so? Does the process disturb the natural subterranean environment? Are there any changes in...

Have a good time!

:rofl: He tell you that?

What about the rules of logical entailment; do those count as the laws of logic?

What are you talking about when you say "laws of logic"?

The content of any and all belief is only understood and/or known by considering the correlation(s) being drawn by the creature in question. The conte...

Mice, trees, cups, cupboards, and tables...

What does science say about what we ought do? :brow:

Nice link. Thank you! :smile:

I say start by completely dehydrating yourself.

Yep, those too are part of it(some of the content of some language-less belief). That is not true. All words are visuals and/or sounds. Not all visual...

I can talk about the content of my cupboards. I can talk about the content of my cat's stomach. I can talk about the content of the ocean. I can talk ...

I can talk about the content of the government. My account comes in propositional form. It does not follow from that that the content of the governmen...

I can talk about the content of a proposition. My account comes in propositional form. It does not follow from that that the content of a proposition ...

I can talk about the content of a lemon. My account comes in propositional form. It does not follow from that that the content of the lemon is proposi...

I've some sympathy for the idea that the limit of one's language is the limit of 'one's world', if by that we mean worldview or belief system. However...

Gotcha! My better half just informed me that Turkish coffee is quite strong, and too strong for her, which is saying something. You must prefer very s...

Go dark roast then! French press is not finesse! Makes the boldest flavour.

Try 100% Kona. Freshly ground and prepared with a French press.
