Everybody,
Have a look at the link, doxastic logic
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doxastic_logic>, that Russ put in his
note below. It's a stunner. Nick
The preferred variant of many (vocal) FRIAMers is /Dogmatic Logic/ which
is the preferred logic of /Conceited /and /Peculiar/ reasoners (as
defined by /Doxastic/ logic), though /Bombastic/ reasoning always prevails!
When I first read Smullyan's "Forever Undecided", I realized that I was
a /Timid/ reasoner regarding religious issues, but in all else I was
either a /Knee-jerk/ (similar to /Reflexive/, but more violent) reasoner
or a /Perniciously Precocious/ reasoner (similar to /Peculiar/ reasoner,
only more destructive).
I just can't leave stuff alone, can I?
