Propositions, Hypothesis Generation, and Unknown Unknowns
About this Episode
Three short chapters from In The Cells Of The Eggplant.
What can you believe? - Propositions are whatever sort of thing it is you can believe. Nothing can play that role; so we need a different understanding of belief.
Where did you get that idea in the first place? - Rationalism does not explain where hypotheses, theories, discoveries, inventions, or other new ideas come from.
The Spanish Inquisition - Unboundedly many issues may be relevant to any practical problem, so mathematical logic does not work as advertised.
