Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Problems of Science and Philosophy, Vol. 2: The Papers Read at the Joint Session of the Aristotelian Society, the British Psychological Society, and the Mind Association, Held at Bedford College, London, July 11th 14th, 1919 A proposition may be defined as: What we believe when we believe truly or falsely. This definition is so framed as to avoid the assumption that, whenever we believe, our belief is true or false. In order to arrive, from the definition, at an account of what a proposition is, we must decide what belief is, what is the sort of thing that can be believed, and what constitutes truth or falsehood in a belief. I take it as evident that the truth or falsehood of a belief depends upon a fact to which the belief "refers." Therefore it is well to begin our inquiry by examining the nature of facts. I. Structure of Facts. I mean by a "fact" anything complex. If the world contains no simples, then whatever it contains is a fact; if it contains any simples, then facts are whatever it contains except simples. When it is raining, that is a fact; when the sun is shining, that is a fact. The distance from London to Edinburgh is a fact. That all men die is probably a fact. That the planets move round the sun approximately in ellipses is a fact. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
