The proposition or idea is the same regardless of knowledge. The concern or philosophical arguments is ideas. They can only be stated as declaratives.
Only declaratives can hold propositions.
Questions cannot be part of an argument.
"I doubt therefore I think, therefore I am- - a declarative because you can ask this person "Is that true?-.
"I doubt- is this true? Yes.
"I think- is this true? Yes s sound philosophical argument.
"Therefore I am- is this true? Yes.
Do I doubt? - cannot ask "is that true-. Invalid for philosophy.
"You bet!- - cannot ask "is that true-. Invalid for philosophy.
You should too - cannot ask "is that true-. Invalid for philosophy.
If you want to prove an argument, your argument has to be a declarative.
A pseudo statement can come about when there is a difference in opinion.
Argument - a series of supports for a belief. Declaratives CAN posses truth-value. It doesn't HAVE to be true. Does not HAVE to possess truth-value.
Give a series of statements and circle a declarative statement.
1. Babies are angels - pseudo statement.
2. Babies are angelic - declarative.
3. I am unhappy - declarative.
Only declaratives can hold prepositional truth.
Condition for knowledge:.
1. BELIEF - One can't have knowledge without belief (?).
You have to have belief to come to the idea - "I know-.
I know----, but don't believe it.
Is this logically possible?? This simply means that it is hard to believe it. Therefore it doesn't necessarily mean that it is not true.
Belief that vs. Belief in .
Can show prepositional attitude "I believe that- - cannot be argued with when it is supported with facts.An argument's purpose is to show WHY "I believe-. Is NOT prepositional attitude."œBelief in- can be lied about.
