Still, nobody likes talking about those things where people instead wrap these subjects under morality or ethics because it makes them "feel good". It makes them "feel good" about themselves and the world around them even though it's all just a giant facade.

An example of a syllogism;
P1 Jokerism is about worshipping death and nothingness.
P2 Buddhism is NOT about worshipping death and nothingness.
C3 Therefore Jokerism do not jive with Buddhism.

Again: FALSE!
Your premises are false, thus your conclusion is also false.
My oh my! Boy oh boy!

My syllogism is deductively correct merely as an example of what a syllogism is. I did not state the premise P1 and conclusion are sound.
You should be mindful before jumping out of your chair to think you have found I committed a serious intellectual error.

Again: I did not know that you meant your syllogism as a purely formal example. So I could only interpret it in the way I did. And if you read the other posts here, then you will notice that all posters are referring to logic (including syllogism) only in a semantic way.

In response to the above, I was merely giving an example what 'what is a syllogism' using the existing materials and not taking into account the truth of the contents.
Point is you did not follow the 'logic' of my post.
Note the following are can be independent by themselves;
1. Philosophy
2. Logic
3. Semantics
4. Mathematics
5. Science
6. Others
Logic and semantics are merely tools of philosophy in seeking wisdom to optimize the well being of the individual and therefrom humanity.

Generally, philosophy is overriding and there is the Philosophy of 'X' where 'X' can be any thing.Arminius wrote:Ah. "Others" can also be "independent by themselves". I think you yourself have to note your 6 points again.![]()
Again: I do not always rely on semantics. In my last posts I just wanted to remind you of the importnace of semantics. I did not say that semantic rules over this and that. I merely saif that semantics is needed everywhere.
I think that your „ranking“ should be corrected a bit.
Note: Maybe it is a typical view of an English-speaking man you have, but that does not automatically mean that it is correct or even the best one.
But okay, it does not very much differ from my model:
And look, semantics is not on the "top", is not even mentioned. As a branch of linguistics it is included in linguistics - of course, duh. According to my model philosophy is on the "top" (thus seemingly similar to your view, your model), but this "top" is no real top, because it can be turned upside down. And if it is turned upside down, the physics is on the "top" which is no real top. (See the arrows in the graphics above.) However. Semantics is never on the "top", but that does not autmatically mean that it is not needed everywhere.
I disagree.Arminius wrote:Semantics is needed everywhere.
I'll say again, semantics is critical to knowledge, but it is not the only critical element to knowledge and it is not needed EVERYWHERE.Each process of understanding must be accompanied by its meaning, its semantics. Without semantics you know nothing. So if you want to know less and less and at last nothing at all, then just loose semantics (like those who suffer from Altzheimer’s disease do).

It is not needed EVERYWHERE but only where it is relevant.
1+1=2.
Do I need semantics for this knowledge?
