I don't get it. How is a logical contradiction only apparent or illusory
and how does it exist in perception. Leaving aside Ham's essentialism, I
really don't understand what the tetralemma means. I'm not even sure
where the logic is located in it. Break it down for me, will you?
Ron replied:
OR -experience does not arise from logic, logic arises from experience.

Right. I agree with this conclusion but I understand it in terms of John
Dewey's philosophy and in terms of the MOQ. What I don't understand is
how we get from the tetralemma to that conclusion. It looks something
like a five-part dilemma where each premise is related to the others, but
I don't see how they add up.
Also, it feels like being dropped into the middle of a conversation, like
it is a response to Aristotle's logic. But I don't see how the form of
this argument works. I don't see how the logic works, how one progresses
through the five steps. Without some kind of context or explanation, each
premise looks like naked assertion.
Can you walk me through it? How do you get to the conclusion from there?
Marsha, would you care to take a stab at explaining it?
Thanks.
DMB,
If only I could explain in a coherent (Hi Squonk!) manner. It has
something to do with non-affirming negatives, but I don't have it clearly.
Maybe Ron can explain. If he does, I'd like to know why he so rejected by
question about opposite-from-non-beer. All of a sudden he's a tetralemma
whiz-kid. That's okay. I'll take help from whoever can offer it. I am so
beyond my knowledge base it's frightening. Movement, even at a snail's
pace, is okay with me.
