Date: September 20th, 2018 2:02 PM Author: curious area shitlib i dunno about putnam. he thinks that usefulness is a mark of correspondence ("no miracles" in the phil of science). my impression is that even if you want to hold some kind of internal realism you still have a correspondence feature, even if its conceptually relative/non-universal.

Date: September 20th, 2018 2:21 PM Author: talented milky plaza i agree with that (your 2nd sentence), i'm just not sure if that qualifies as a coherent correspondence since it's relative. i mean to think about anything you need some kind of correspondence framework. of course as a pragmatist i don't think this universal coherence really matters anyway (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4082252&forum_id=2#36849389) |

Date: September 20th, 2018 2:40 PM Author: curious area shitlib I think what you're saying is that the purpose of any conceptual scheme or formalism is utility, not correspondence.
I think that commits you to the position that the same expression in two dissimilar conceptual formalisms can be equivalent as long as their functional properties are equivalent.
My response is that the ability and extent to which a given formalism creates utility is actually dependent on the structure of the expression itself, specifically, the extent to which the structure of the formalism corresponds to the structure of its referent.
Although that's basically all to restate putnam; the formalisms that work the best are the ones the correspond the best. |
