pljames Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 When I was a child no one taught me it was a language unto itself. I understand when a mathematician writes a book he sees the world from a mathematical perpective. Yet when a philosopher does the same its the same principle. I am fasinated with algebra. To me its like analytical philosophy only with words. I understand one plus one better than 1+1. We both arrive at the same answer but from different perspectives. Can we judge both perspectives wrong? pljames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMoosie Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 1 + 1 is not algebra but arithmetic, but I agree that I find many troubling philisophical issues with such simple concepts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
