Okay, thanks, I suppose I was coming at this from a different perspective: personally I take Hume's criticism of induction somewhat seriously and Carroll's criticism of deduction not so seriously. It seemed to me in the paragraph I quoted that you were treating them equally, as though deduction should be considered as suspect as induction. I've learned to live with the dark cloud of Humean skepticism hanging over my head, but criticisms of deduction strike me as assaults on sanity itself. :)
Which is why you and I continue to butt heads over the most fundamental descriptions of "reality". In a very general, and thus widely applicable sense, both induction and deduction are descriptions of methods of organizing information, performed by a necessarily subjective (limited context) system. You seem to be holding tight to belief in absolutes. - Jef ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?list_id=11983
