Oh yes, excellent conclusions made from all the Wittgenstein you have read.
Or is it just more spoon fed lazy thoughts from the epistemology textbook you own?

Not to my mind, max.
What you've done is to prove that 'certainty' cannot exist.
Knowledge is the possession of relative information.
There's no judgement on where it is correct or not. One can 'know' two completely contradictory things that cannot possibly co-exist, for example. It's possible to know that low cholesterol is good for you.. and also know that it is bad for you. You choose which to believe based on the perspective you have.
However this also means that relative certainty is possible. Without this we wouldn't be able to operate.
Nothing is unsayable.. everything is relative. Certainty is impossible, knowledge is relative certainty of information.
Relative certainty is belief.
Knowledge is belief.
Wide, sweeping and wrong-headed claims made by a poorly-informed person who claims to know nothing. Wonderful.
Who are these epistemologers of whom you speak? What do they believe? Names, addresses and quotations please.

Nothing matters
i said right at the start of the thread, that i am not making a claim
addresses? lol
i am referring to every epistemologist, the people who make up the field of academic epistemology, for example, any of the authors in the books mntioned at the start of this thread
max_freakout
Nothing matters
are you claiming that knowledge is possible without certainty?
It isnt, the statement:
"I know p to be true, but p isnt certain to be true"
is contradictory

I don't need to know what is ....
Fuck that, I think that all the time.
As for your claims, you have made dozens of claims about epistemologists, what they believe, why they believe it, and why they ought to believe something else. You're up to your neck in claims.
max_freakout
Nothing matters
that is why i am not making any claims
proposition and other logic is a game play, it learns how to reason within a pre-defined frame. Nothing more. Never saw much fun in doing it, it is utterly boring.
salaam.
No you don't. You only have to bring yourself to accept it. That means you learn how to step outside your pre-defined self-constructed, limited and limiting frame of reasoning. That is all there is to it.
salaam.
Absolutely.
Because it's wrong. It should be
I know p. p isn't certain to be true. But I believe p to be true because of q r and s.
Ha. I never said learning is impossible.
How do you come to connect that with "having knowledge is impossible " is anyone's guess. (Maybe you could check the other thread.)
salaam.

I also don't understand why max has repeatedly resorted to using propositional logic

Has Dillinger really been banned?
I also don't understand why max has repeatedly resorted to using propositional logic
What the posts of other posters (whihc I only read fractional) have to do with me and/or mine is also anyone's guess.
salaam.
?
Maybe he asked for a temp ban because he said in his thread he is far behind with his thesis.
salaam.
Itis not about word games. It is about what matters to get insight in the world *as is*.
salaam.
