Rorty also states: It may be that what Hacking calls the death of meaning at the hands of Quine, Wittgenstein, Davidson and Feyerabend brings with it ...

Don't quite understand, what do you mean?
March 07, 2021 at 22:40
Davidson says at the twenty-five years postmark after Rorty publishing his Linguistic Turn in the Method of Analysis of Philosophy:
March 07, 2021 at 22:36
This is somewhat iffy. Because if one states the above, the implicit assumption is that somewhere meaning arises, as if through the conversation with ...
March 07, 2021 at 22:32
So, the method of analysis in philosophy otherwise known as the 'linguistic turn', has dismissed 'representation' as a form of meaning. What else woul...
March 07, 2021 at 05:24
I think that's true for the most part. I don't see any use of mentioning pragmatism again. What do you think comes after the linguistic turn?
March 07, 2021 at 03:32
I disagree, most of what pragmatists wanted to accomplish has been already accomplished by linguistic philosophers, or it was some sort of natural ten...
March 07, 2021 at 02:49
That really couldn't really be answered, instead of this one, Banno. Like, who's going to verify such a statement that the linguistic turn is indeed d...
March 06, 2021 at 23:59
This gives me a mental-cramp and creates a ill feeling. Namely, reading this as if it were definitional based, one can claim that this is closer to pr...
March 06, 2021 at 23:03
I'm operating from the counterfactual, that linguistic philosophy was not treated as the mainstay, and instead analytic philosophy had its mainstay mu...
March 06, 2021 at 19:35
Well, my knowledge doesn't seem to be a deterrent for some kind of discussion. All that I have concluded now is that there's no determined method to q...

Logic takes care of itself. The other issue is that language does (not) have a universal grammar.
March 05, 2021 at 05:34
What kind of truth about this whole issue do you think this has in common with category theory or perhaps this is sort of some kind of new logic at pl...
March 05, 2021 at 05:14
Or maybe the act of inquiry and arising insights to sound more pragmatist? A lot of people are baffled by this topic for some reason, where I see this...
March 05, 2021 at 03:50
True, but, there's a category of importance or impotence nowadays on every roster.
March 05, 2021 at 03:47
Totally. It's no mistake nowadays that analytic philosophy has proffered from logical positivism and figures such as Quine and Carnap as well as Schli...
March 05, 2021 at 03:45
Congruent? It's a travesty that logical positivism got shat on and Cambridge wanted to go for common sense philosophy, whilst America steadfast follow...
March 04, 2021 at 22:56
What does that mean?
March 04, 2021 at 20:57
Not really, as nothing profound has actually changed in the field of philosophy. Go ahead and read the afternotes of Rorty's The Linguistic Turn. Meta...

Sure, but this is quite a conundrum towards the notion that everything in mathematics should or is determinate.
March 04, 2021 at 00:58
As well as this comment, huh?
March 04, 2021 at 00:57
I posted this in another thread about logical positivism/atomism/monism being, quite possibly, a precursor to formal languages like programming langua...

Do you think Wittgenstein would like Apple more or PC?
March 02, 2021 at 22:59
But, but, we're all using the internets, and the computer positivists are smiling in their graves with all this formalism in language with Grammarly! ...
March 02, 2021 at 22:58
I was expecting something like: Mathematics is deterministic, and yet, this situation arises. Maybe some stuff in maths can get organized better with ...

Logical simples solves the issue. Just can't find em.

But, how do you get around variables influencing homoscedasticity of the curve during time evolutions?
February 25, 2021 at 21:51
Interesting approach. What kind of general syntax applies to proof telling?
February 25, 2021 at 20:41
Into 3D or possibly 4D? Such as time evolutions?

I seem to have run into issues with describing the part about complexity due to the fact that there's no (extra)-systematic way of formalizing mathema...

Geometry, mainly. I think it is better understood in number theory for example. Is every theorem able to provide for a proof that is least or more com...

Generic psychologies need not apply.
August 21, 2020 at 11:04
It's a pitiful psychology to find a niche in terms of dangly parts instead of something so much more complex and sophisticated as a computer. Be it as...

Solipsism is everything to me.

Isn't it humiliating to think a computer is superior to you in every single regard? As much as you'd like to pitifully think you are better or greater...

I've got nothing to prove here. Proved it to myself.

Seemingly, an example cannot be provided since, I think, it cannot ever be determined if it really is conscious or even sentient according to the info...
August 21, 2020 at 06:46
How are you so sure?
August 21, 2020 at 06:22
Ok, makes sense. But, I'm focusing on sentient computers.
August 21, 2020 at 06:01
Taking some tests with computers.
August 21, 2020 at 05:53
How can a conscious computer "lack"?
August 21, 2020 at 05:50
It wouldn't seem too cracked out to say that computers can become conscious or even sentient, is it?
