I am thinking in particular of a person I know who I've discussed this with at length, but one can certainly find this in some forms of Reformed theol...
Perhaps partly, but I think the other big factor would be that it is not actually easy to remove LNC and not end up with triviality. You seem to have ...
Common sense wise, yes, but Plato has Socrates make an argument that relies on notions contrariety and us accepting death as the polar opposite of lif...
I suppose one way to "cope" with a lack of meaning could be to actually uncover to true meaning of life, how to "be a good person," or "life a good li...
Yes, I did think of that, and I agree with you that it might be plausible in some contexts. Animism is the norm both in early cultures and early child...
Well, if you've been taught that a contradiction has a truth table that is always false and you think you have identified something that is necessaril...
Yeah, but if you affirm that "death" is equivalent with "not-life," you'll be stuck affirming Plato's argument for the immortality of the soul in the ...
Yeah, I actually thought of a more concrete one we see on this forum: "it is true that nothing is true." Normally this is just the claim "nothing is t...
True, but if, pace Frege, we assume assertoric force, then to claim "A ? ~A" along with "A" is to contradict oneself, and therein I think lies the con...
Thanks, that's an interesting one. The first premise is false though. We are only affirming a contradiction if we affirm A and ~A. In this one 2 is fa...
I suppose it depends on how you want to define persons. Harry Frankfurt had an influential paper that defined persons as entities that have second-ord...
Well, I see one problem here: How does this explain, say, Calvinism where man has to be constantly worried about whether or not he is elect or destine...
Following the events of The Brother's Karamazov Ivan Karamazov has a conversion experience and becomes a priest (he got better from the syphilis and i...
Artistotle and Euclid use contradiction in reductio demonstrations all the time. If we have a valid argument with a conclusion we know to be false the...
This seems like a topic where it will be very easy to fall into discussing something trivial through equivocation, however, I couldn't help commenting...
This seems to fits with the intuition that things are also not fully intelligible in themselves (partially yes, else we would need to understand every...
ChatGPT is just slamming text together that tends to flow together. Something with P and ~P is going to cause it to talk about contradictions because ...
I wish I had your confidence. I've been stuck waiting with time to kill all day and been feeling an increasing sense of doom looking at the analysis. ...
There is a lot of interesting stuff in there, and I really wish they had it on a platform that made it easier to slice and dice the data, because you ...
Well I should note that the quotations I shared are from some other places as well, I was collating them because I discovered that (almost) the same q...
Well, in the intuitive natural language context I think people would simply want to reject the entailment. E.g., "But that my dog is alive doesn't ent...
Let's put something in for A, say "Sue is sitting." 1. That Sue is sitting implies that Sue is not sitting. 2.Sue is sitting. Therefore, Sue is not si...
I don't think it's that hard to define at all. Some posters in this thread seemed to pick it up intuitively. Aside from B&R's book, they have shorter ...
Neither of the two most cited arguments for pluralism, Beale and Restall or Shapiro argue that trivial logics should be considered correct. Beale and ...
Read what? Obviously I can't read the sources I just quoted since they disagree with you. I mean, on your view that "virtually all logicians embrace d...
Actually, I was thinking of mereological nihilism, that there are no true part whole relations, and that arrangements of them are ultimately arbitrary...
You can certainly argue for nihilism from robust deflation, but the position that it is obvious or widely accepted that validity and logical consequen...
Is it arbitrary? See: I do not think it's plausible to say that trivial logics in which everything expressible can be proven true are only arbitrarily...
And can one have correct purposes, or can one's purposes be defined arbitrarily? The purpose here is to capture natural language understandings of goo...
It's about the appropriateness of a logic in mirroring natural language notions of logical consequence and validity. How is validity defined in most n...
Or for more detail on different ways to define correctness: I would just add that the background assumption for looking at natural language and scient...
I think thinking in terms of "laws" is probably unhelpful here and I have never seen a monist argument that tries to define itself in this way. If by ...
Yes, I think you're correct, one can think of correspondence in a looser sense and I think it is in this looser sense that it remains so popular among...
Ok, from your initial post I thought you were making the claim that this was logically necessary, as in tautological. Does it follow? IDK, maybe. Thos...
Trump is up 65% to 35% in the betting markets (which have a solid track record) and ahead in swing state polling. If he outperforms his polling like h...
Well no, the most cited monograph on pluralism, Beale and Restall, says there are multiple "correct/genuine" logics. The opening sentence of Russell's...
Yes, I am aware you can copy and paste. You apparently cannot define what the term "correct logic" used in definitions of the problem in all these pap...
I'm not asking you to give a philosophical account, I'm asking you to show you have a basic understanding of the topic. It's an outline... "of what?" ...
On the opening pages of their respective books, for the most obvious example. Do you really need to check new sources and not the papers you yourself ...
No, but you do see the term all over articles written by logicians on the topic of logical pluralism vs monism vs nihilism. Beale and Restall define t...
:up: BTW, I agree with you here. I feel like there have been knock down arguments against correspondence for millennia at this point, e.g. Plotinus as...
Lots of reading, graduate school experience, that sources like IEP and SEP will state this as uncontroversial and people like to complain if they get ...
Might it be that you are thinking of the question in too narrow a way and not they collectively misunderstanding it? Which topic? It remains the most ...
