7) "Don't you find by your experience that reality is contradictory?"
What an odd question? ^^^^ CB; What's odd about it ? Do you mean you have never heard it before ? Methinks you mean it "doesn't make sense" or is "self-contradictory", (whatever "contradictory" means; after all putting a "self" in there is personifying words, and giving some "self" the characteristics of words, in that only words can be "contradictory" because "dictory" is a root for "talking") ^^^^^ Answer: No more than it is tautologious. ^^^^ CB: Do you find that in the words sentences and propositions you use in describing and theorizing reality contradictions arise ? You are going along swimmingly with a vocabulary corresponding to objective reality describing, generalizing, theorizing about reality in tautological and logically consistent statements, when suddenly reality starts "being" in a way that your words fall into contradictory assertions ? ^^^^^^ Nature contains contradictions only if you are prepared to personify it. Count me out. RL ^^^^^^ CB: So you mean that in referring to nature ( reality) as having contradictions, it is treating nature as if it is talking ( the "diction" semantic item in "contradiction" is "talking" or "speaking"); and in so treating nature-reality as if it is talking, one personifies nature ? _______________________________________________ Marxism-Thaxis mailing list [email protected] To change your options or unsubscribe go to: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/listinfo/marxism-thaxis
