There's no unified theory. We don't know shit. — frank
But then, you haven't said what it is you think so what you mean is a bit hard to assertion. — Banno
You need to watch more PBS Space Time. — frank
But you seem to be just mouthing off. — Banno
pretty much is my approach to the topic. That a contradiction could be held to occur in the world is a category mistake. I've phrased this as: if we come across an apparent contradictory state of affairs, then we've said it wrong.One may claim that it makes no sense to talk of inconsistent objects, situations, or states of affairs. The world is all there, all together: how could some pieces of it contradict some other pieces?
Yes, and I already said earlier, a couple times if I am not mistaken, that I make no metaphysical claim beyond saying that the LNC is necessary for rational thought and discussion. — Janus
If memory serves, you asked me how I know that the law of non-contradiction is true. That's a separate issue, and rather than get embroiled in a pointless debate in which you eventually espouse some form of extreme scepticism about the possiblity of any knoweldge whatsoever, or just arbitrarily affirm some kind of empiricism, I asked you how you know it is true. — Bartricks
PBS also has one saying bb is correct — Gregory
Yes, you evaded a question with a question. I told you how I know the LNC is necessary for rational thought and discussion, and that I make no further claim than that. — Janus
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
