chaz wyman Are you under the delusion that what you are doing here is philosophical examination of human understanding? You’re just lurking in your den and whenever something new is up, you jump out, and start bragging and accusing others of all sorts of groundless accusations like someone being hyp...

This is now going off topic all the best, rantal OK then, this is going to be the third, and if that makes you happy, the last time, I'm asking you this question: "2. Please clarify what the role of information is, in regard to ‘know how’, in your theory. Don’t you think your ‘know how’ is any...

1. Categorization should be based on what there actually exists in the world, including our own mentality. It is not the case that we can invent a label and then look for the content. I would be willing to bet that you are to blame for accepting categories based on invented labels just like everyon...

You forgot to answer my second item. i.e.:


"2.
Please clarify what the role of information is, in regard to ‘know how’, in your theory. Don’t you think your ‘know how’ is anything but ‘have information’?"

1. Categorization should be based on what there actually exists in the world, including our own mentality. It is not the case that we can invent a label and then look for the content. You look for similarities , and also differences, to introduce a category, in the first place. Then there are subcat...

I am glad to talk to you and sorry for the late response. In your last comment, you have addressed a number of questions, most of which have long been of my personal concern. I wonder if you don’t mind to investigate them one at a time, and of course on the condition that it doesn’t violate the inte...

(2) a working definition of knowledge is what I mean by 'knowing how' that is, an ability, including all that is normally considered as both 'knowledge of' and 'knowledge how to' Dear Rantal, If one is to understand your theory you should be quite clear in your specific terminology. On one occasion...

1. I don't need to define 'knowing that' since that is not part of my theory and since I am arguing that there is no 'knowing that' [/i][/color] If you miss my question so easily, you might miss something as important in your theory. By no means did I ask you to define 'knowing that'.What I asked y...

That is exactly my point; the KNOW HOW to ride the bike, just as I do, similarly, unless they are a sugar virgin, they KNOW HOW to describe the taste of sugar. I am not attepting to define knowing something as the ability to describe, rather I am postulating that there is no KNOWLEDGE OF SOMETHING ...

"While it may be the case that objective reality has never been shown to exist, my thought experiment suggests that perception is deceptive and not sufficient apparatus for epistemological problem of this kind. Our other senses tell us nothing about the world except what is fundamental for sur...

You are free to define 'knowing something', as the ability to describe something; but that's as long as you don't talk to other people. Someone who knows how to ride a bicycle, for sure, can't describe how she maintains her balance on the bike, whereas she knows how to do it.

SpheresOfBalance You haven't pinned down what type of war you have in mind. If you are conducting a war against evil(not the axiom of evil, of course!) then, one would have a better feeling, looking at juxtaposition of "art" and "war". I think you mean the 'axis' of evil? How ca...

On the contrary I know how to answer the sugar virgin, I say sugar is sweet and by that they to learn how to answer when asked what is the taste of sugar, then they know how to answer[/color][/i] You might be able to teach him how to answer a question, even though, he doesn't know as much as you kn...

What do you call the taste of sugar, when you actually experience it? Do you 'know' that taste? When I taste sugar I know how to describe it, this I have learnt to do all the best, rantal Apart from the fact that for someone who has never tasted sweet, you can never describe what exactly that is, g...
