Thank you for your clarification that the post was entirely a critique of a single bit of word choice.
Out of curiosity, what other philosophers do you consider to be so absolutely correct (and so clear in their statements that misinterpretation is impossible) that rise to the level of proof or evidence when cited?
- austincheney 6y agoI cannot provide a good answer for this. I do believe that Descartes’ Meditations are perhaps the most misinterpreted. https://en.m.wikisource.org/wiki/Meditations_on_First_Philosophy https://en.m.wikisource.org/wiki/Meditations_on_First_Philos... This is what people reference when they say: I think, therefore I am. I find that is not at all accurate to the writing. Really it says a thinking machine that can doubt can doubt away all things but doubting itself so then that ability must exist.
