It can be revealing to some psychoanalytic literature on the subject. However, overpsychologizing the subject is happening here.

Ahh, dear MOS. How is he?

Just random musings on my part. Nothing too serious. Be easy,

Have at the thread I started. https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/4290/principle-of-bipolarity

It is a persuasive thought no?

The cat is still smiling.

What are your thoughts on the Principle of Bipolarity and Wittgenstein?

Thank you Matt.

Sometimes I think you write all your posts on MDMA. :rofl:

Laughs ensure.

@"Benkei" Here's the fruition to my question that you postited: https://www.lenr-forum.com/forum/thread/5728-how-do-you-convince-a-skeptic/?pageNo=1

That gave me a chuckle.

Well, yes how don't you see the Principle of Bipolarity as something significant?

It goes without saying that Wittgenstein was heavily influenced by Schopenhauer and Kant.

Well, if you insist, then what I had in mind is that the Principle of Bipolarity, only applies to contingent truths, but the more I think about it, wh...

Yes, and hence the world is the totality and non-totality of facts not things.

Sorry, I must have made that up. My apologies.

Yes, that is under the guise that you believe in metaphysical necessity and determinism.

No, their relations are atomic facts. They themselves just are. This is part of the Tractarian ontology of "things"

According to the Principle of Bipolarity, you can have negative states of affairs. Which makes sense to me given that Wittgenstein argued passionately...

The thing with suicide is that you can't be wrong about it, and that's a scary prospect.

I'm not sure if transcendent of their relations is the correct term. I'd say they constitute the world, and that's all.

Yes, that much I understand. I just am having difficulty with the Principle of Bipolarity present throughout the Tractatus.

Well yes, objects and their relations in logical space. Just that objects are an irreducible substance that comprises the world.

Show me where I lost you.

Atomic facts are constituted by objects that make up the substance in the world (or logical space if you prefer the original terminology).

The Principle of Bipolairty, states that anything that can be, can be otherwise.

Yes, the early Wittgenstein defined objects as the substance of the world.

Yes, that's what I'm asking. And hence why Wittgenstein rejected the logical positivists with his version of the falsifiable principle implicit in the...

Thoughts? In my mind, it significantly changes how I view Wittgenstein.

Thanks for educating on the current landscape of scientific thought.

My impression was that logical positivism died with the Vienna Circle dismantlement. Do you know any sources for current logical positivists? I know o...

:lol:

The cat is mewing.

I heard the next big thing in science is string theory. So, it might strings all the way down.

Not according to the coordinate space between Banno and the cup. Or even panpsychism,

Any takers?

Care to expand?

:(

Well, yes, they are different philosophies of the mind; but, that doesn't negative they're importance at least.

Experiential knowledge is prone to such analysis. It' more about how to do deal with ethical sentiments. The gist of the sentiments is ethical ones.

Well, yes, We do use knowledge about assessing the true and falsity of determinating knowledge. I was wondering about what criteria we use in determin...

Shameless bump.

Cat's still smiling. That smile.

The cat is still smiling.

Sitting I the the hospital... Just chilling and reading a slow moving forum.

I largely agree. I think solipsism comes to mind.

Yes, this is framing the question about how to do ambiguity, vagueness, and other misinterpretations occur. If logical tules would work strictly on hu...

I think it's an accurate evaluation. People tend to like life more than dying. It's just an inherent biological defense mechanism to prefer life over ...
