Hi Keith and MF volken
OK here's a couple I resurrected and another which is kind of
newish in a rehashed sort of
way!
THEM PESKY INJUNS
The conjecture that Indians had some huge influence on American
thought is never
supported well.
(The last in the series of topics from January)
Originally From Bo:
The statement made by Phaedrus of ZAMM (Chp.19) that Quality does
not reside in the
material world is readily accepted, but the rest of it - that it
doesn't reside in the mind -
seems more obscure. What does it mean that Quality is not of mind?
A New(ish) One:
The Fact/Value Dichotomy comes up occasionally as a bone of
contention that the MoQ
should be able to either solve or dissolve.
This seems to have started with Hume and, I think, "A Treatise on
Human Nature". Referring
to proofs of the being of God: "... when of a sudden I am surprised
to find that instead of the
usual copulations of propositions "is" and "is not", I meet with no
proposition that is not
connected with an "ought" or "ought not" ... as this "ought" or
"ought not" expresses some
new relation or affirmation it is necessary that it be observed and
explained; and at the same
time a reason should be given for what seems altogether
inconceivable, how this new
relation can be a deduction from others which are entirely
different from it."
In other words, is it reasonable to derive OUGHT from IS and does
the MoQ allow, or
preferably insist, that this is acceptable.
