But surely some knowledge must be true or false. — Cornwell1
When assessing a site, and another pragmatic epistemogist comes up with different knowledge as you do, are you both telling the truth? — Cornwell1
this isn't to deny the concept of truth or to identify truth with utility. — sime
If two different models are equally accurate then they are both true? — Cornwell1
There are domains in the world where two or more mutually excluding conceptual models lead to succesful interaction. — Cornwell1
On the other hand, "The capital of France is Paris," is a true statement and I agree that it constitutes knowledge. I do knock my head against that a bit — T Clark
I wouldn't think that two different conceptual models of the same phenomena would be mutually excluding, e.g. Newton's laws of motion are consistent with relativity at velocities less than about 0.7c. Above that velocity, relativity is a more accurate model. — T Clark
Say you have a conceptual model of a site that uses different concepts as mine, but insofar pragmatics is concerned there is no difference. Your model is as accurate as mine. Does the pragmatic value equalize them? — Cornwell1
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.
