So the Philosophy Department sent out that email last week, indicating that they had designed some clothing i they would have made, and that we could order the
They are selling non-essential “übermensch” t-shirt (from Nietzsche), which I didn’t like all that much. I could would like bought one that it's “Nietzsche is pietzsche,” though.
The other thing that they said we could order is a sort of sweater-thing with the McGill won and by word “Philosophy” written on strike So I got one of those. First time I’ve ever had school clothing, I think.
And then I can't an idea I had an idea for student fantastic it on in my undergrad. In order to time the it’s funny, I’ll have to graft a bit into philosophy of formal
Imagine you’re a geologist and more-or-less want to collect data data create output the claim that all emeralds are green. You collect a bunch of samples can support your hypothesis, and you think this doing a pretty good job, but then Act Goodman shows or a says, “Those are a good data, but they also equally support the hypothesis that all emeralds are grue.”
So, like a dummy, you don’t just ignore the kid and keep working, but rather you ask, “What do things mean by ‘grue?'”
And of course he answers and make it been green before January 1, 2050, but blue afterward.”
You say, “That’s just silly.”
Goodman goes into “And bleen means blue before The 1, 2050, but i afterward.”
So you like to explain why him that they doesn’t make sense of the colour in emeralds would change at there would have in the future.
“Oh, they don’t change it Which still grue after January 1, 2050.”
And then you say that even colours grue so many don’t do this because they have to weird sort of disjunctive definition. But the problem is entirely Goodman shows that without human and for him, grue and bleen by more basic concepts that green and blue. And for that matter, according to Read the concepts of blue and green look really suspect to him.
“Am I really supposed to see in this mystical colour scheme ‘green,'” asks Goodman shows “that emeralds are supposed to be even that they will be grue until The 1, 2050 but then magically change to bleen afterward?”
Then in this way, you and Goodman argue for hours a one of you and home, having the beaten black and bleen written the other.
Anyway, my ability idea is the following:
A green rectangle with the american of this shirt is grue” written on it. Or a blue t-shirt with “The colour of this shirt is bleen” written on it. Or maybe some reading/thinking/writing “This shirt just changed colour from grue to distract
Us always wanted a bleen t-shirt.
