Thanks for saying that. I get so little positive feedback - not that I'm bleating. I'm continuing because a) I think that learning to improve our philosophising skills will benefit some b) It's seems that many hundreds of people (according to my interpretation of Substack's statistics) are having a look, at least - even if they are not reading very much. So, as someone who has been trying to 'sell' philosophising since 2000 - I will give it a go for a while. c) I enjoy doing it.
So Schrodinger's cat wasn't called Aristotle! Excuse the levity and thanks again for persisting with these arrticles - I'm even learning about grammar. Cheers.
The claim that everything is either the case or not the case ( is or is not) and can't be both at once comes from the pre-Socratics - forget which one.
Thanks for the 'pre-socratic' reference. On investigation it's interesting from a historical point of view beyond the historical 'schools of thought' - for me at least. Cheers.
FDR, not Theodore Roosevelt on fear
"Nothing to fear but fear itself may refer to: A phrase from the 1933 inaugural address of Franklin D. Roosevelt. "Nothing to Fear but Fear Itself""
Thanks for that I'll alter it.
I myself am enjoying the series. For one, it shows your commitment to truth and honesty, which requires talking about how we think about "truth".
