Thank you for taking the time to read the first five pages of my book and for your feedback - I knew you wouldn't find it hard to refute.Eodnhoj7 wrote: ↑Mon Oct 08, 2018 8:41 amYeah I read the first five pages....to save you the trouble...considering premise is everything.A_Seagull wrote: ↑Sun Oct 07, 2018 7:38 pmNeither.
You can play around with words like a philatelist playing with stamps, that is fine with me. Or if you really want to understand epistemology you will read my book and try to refute it (shouldn't be too hard.)
Either way I am done with this conversation.
Yeah if you are going to take a strict empirical approach premised upon sensory data which is inherently probabilistic in nature a form of vagueness occurs due to the premise. Materiality is relativity and effectively is a approximation of any constant truth with the laws of physics inevitably being probabilistic given any length of time.
To argue from a premise of sensory data and move to logical analysis as an extension of it still observes a directive quality of empiricism to abstractness, which is inherently subject to choice as empiricism and abstract logical analysis are axioms in themselves which can be directed towards each other and is not limits to a strict starting point.
Also the premise of ambiguity as cause for the argument is ambiguous and is subject more to an emotional appeal rather than pure reason...and yet you necessitate the premise from pure reason when saying all evidence is strictly scientific and empirical in nature....Hence the premise contradicts where your argument is headed.
Add the fact you pick the brain as the local empirical source of knowledge in light of evidence where heart transplant patients receive memories from the original owner, a long with the heart having a higher degree of electromagnentic activity than the brain....and we cycle back to the emotional root of the argument without the correct premise being addressed.
Considering the brain is rarely understood in its full nature, to argue from a premise of the brain effectively is to argue from a variable that is not only "not" universally axiomatic but effectively is open to a further progression of data that leaves your presentation inevitably probabilistic.
The material foundations you argue, at best lead to a strict form of probabilism where all knowledge exists as not just through aa relativistic particulate nature but one which effectively is approximation, conducive a the very vagueness you argue against.
Relativity through atomic is subject to an infinite regress and mirrors a form of the munchaussen dilemma. This regressive nature of not just the arguments but empirical phenomena itself leads to an inherent absence of meaning as "all is flux" when relegated to a strict standard of empiricism alone. To argue the necessity of logical analysis effectively leads a a necessary system of metalogic to occur as all logic is not premised in strictly empirical means and needs a pure form of logic to give the logical analysis a framework of interpretation. So for example one may quantitify a phenomenon and gain evidence of it through math as a form of analysis, the question of number requires a strict abstract means which while probabiliatically may be proven over time with scientific discovery is still necessary for the scientific discovery to begin with....
Should I continue reading or do you really want a polemic argument against your work....
What was a real turn off was the brain as a premise for truth considering it is the abstract interpretation of data which gives credit to the brains nature and activity.
If you want to argue meaning is a balance between empirical and abstract data then we are left with a question of meaning as effectively being one of limits, not patterns considering patterns are composed of various limits, as the directive capacity of empirical and abstract data necessitates a form of linear alternation or circularity which gives form and function to the argument....Hence we are led to geometry as spatial limit which composes physical and abstract phenomenon.
PS If you didn't like The Pattern Paradigm you will really hate the sequel!
