Document Summary
Mathematics 2+3=5 (entirely based on convention that has nothing to do with reality) Logic a=a (there is no identity in nature so it"s a convention and you cant get truth from a convention) N: only accept empirical truth- the truth of science. The nose above every other sense organ because the nose is the most dedicate and subtle instrument that humans possess. Plato: concepts are first: being, the good, truth, god. N: all concepts are strictly empirical on origin. They don"t come from out of this world. Concepts are really last, not first in value. Plato: being, permanence are the criteria for reality. Unity, identitiy permanence, thinghood, substance, causality, being : error! They themselves are the errors,, the prejudices of reason. We think only in the form of language . Languge has its own built in meta physics, what is built into grammar and language, it"s demanded by reason.
