Logical Behaviorism

To cheer myself up, I got myself these cognitive fodder:



Eschewing under the umbrella of metaphysics with Thinking Through Philosophy, an epiphany came in the form of Popper's Induction via the hypothetico-deductive method:
  1. Put forward a hypothesis (H).
  2. Deduce a consequence (C) of this hypothesis.
  3. Through experiment and observation, see if C occurs.
  4. If C does not occur, then H must be false, so a new hypothesis is needed.
  5. If C does occur, then H is corroborated to some extent. To further corrorborate it, one should deduce further consequences and repeat step 3.

Through the justification of knowledge, normative epistemology provides a paradigmatic platform of certainty concerned with an 'ought' question.

In turn, consciousness is heightened. The thesis of intentionality concentrates our attention of things we are conscious of, albeit roping in the phenomenology of how things appear to us.

" Consciousness is what I is not,
and is not what it is. "

Well said, Jean-Paul Sartre.
Well said indeed.
