Are you saying a potentially true idea could commit known fallacies?
If so, what you’re really saying is that analytical philosophy is in question... in that case, I don’t think it’s worth arguing with you.
- olooney 6y agoThat is correct. As my argument was not a proposition expressed in or reducible to a formal language, nor was it an empirically verifiable statement of fact, it is neither true nor false but is in fact meaningless. There was no point in my expressing it, and there is certainly no point in you arguing with it. As Wittgenstein said, "Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent."
- TimTheTinker 6y agoAn argument or proposition doesn't have to be formal or empirically verifiable (or or even falsifiable) to be subject to the kibosh of basic analysis.
