No, I’m not. I constructed extreme upper and lower bounds as a baseline for comparing axioms. That was the purpose of my reference to the apocryphal, “now we’re just haggling over price” quote.
- burntwater 9y agoAxioms that don't exist in the comment you replied to, so I'm unsure why you're bringing them up here.
- dsacco 9y agoOf course they do. Axioms are inherent to all positive statements, even if they’re implicit. And you can’t construct (coherent) normative statements without positive ones.
