@owenjonesjourno We could literally bomb Iran back into the dark ages.
The US didn't lose a war to Iran you retard.
It's just not willing to level Iran to win it.
@King0243_PJC If you're so nice, and want everyone to thrive, why is it so hard for you to believe that people might thrive in the cultures they have developed over hundreds and hundreds of years?
I'm kidding, of course, I know you can't frame the issue as anything other than racism.
I'm not really that concerned here with whether or not Wittgenstein got everything right.
I am curious, however, as to why philosophers think the arrangements of symbols they produce represent anything real.
And if they don't, then what, exactly, is the point of philosophy?
That which the proposition must have in common with reality in order to represent reality, and which is identical to itself in every proposition, is the proposition's form of representation.
This property is the Logical Form
A logical structure must, therefore, exist...1/x
in Reality independently of its representation in a proposition if the proposition is to represent anything at all.
A logical structure given in a proposition is about absolutely nothing if there is no independently existing logical structure in reality to which it corresponds.
@Bbmorg I get that people don't want radical Islam or radical Christianity, but I don't want radical Leftism either.
Religion should be a private matter.
@Heccles94 Harry. like every other depraved communist, is just a common criminal.
They genuinely don't understand why you have a right to the stuff you earned and why they don't have a right to take it.
Communists are criminals.
representation, then only that which has this common property can be represented rightly or falsely."
"So, what does all of this have to do with facts?"
"It is only the fact that has that property which makes it possible to represent reality at all."
"What is the fact being represented?"
"Why are you always asking about facts? Have you even read any philosophy?"
"Well, if that property which the proposition has in common with reality, and which makes representation of reality possible at all, is its form of...1/x
All kidding aside, if you're able to comprehend the issue at stake, and you want some mild amusement, go ask the philosophers the following question:
If proposition P is true, but P does not assert a fact about reality, then what is it that makes P true?
It's hilarious.
If a proposition does not assert a fact, then what does it assert?
If a proposition does assert a fact, what must the proposition and the fact have in common for the proposition to assert that fact?
How do we know when a proposition asserts a fact?
You might think...1/x
