Propositions

Famous quotes containing the word propositions:

    All propositions are of equal value.
    Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)

    In fact, of course, I hold that propositions that contemporary
    philosophers would properly count as ‘empirical’ can be necessary and be known to be such.
    Saul Kripke (b. 1940)

    Neither moral relations nor the moral law can swing in vacuo. Their only habitat can be a mind which feels them; and no world composed of merely physical facts can possibly be a world to which ethical propositions apply.
    William James (1842–1910)
