| Knowledge | Clarke | Stroud I 67 Knowledge/Assertibility/Truth/Thompson Clarke/Stroud: Example: Soldiers in war are to distinguish foreign airplanes from their own under time pressure, on the basis of characteristics: If an aircraft has x, y, and w it is an E, - if it has x, y, and z: an F. Only specially trained observers can distinguish between E and F on the ground by means of a further characteristic. Skepticism: Skepticism corresponds to observation from the ground. - It does not provide real knowledge, but assertibility. >Assertibility, >Truth. Instead of dream: we do not always know when we think we know. >Beliefs, >Certainty. Solution/Stroud: philosophy merely applies higher standards. StroudVsAustin: but here there are not two notions of knowledge. "Distant position": from it we can see our own limitation. I 80 Airplane example: Here there is no objective knowledge (as long as the airplane is not on the ground), but knowledge relative to the manual. - Pointe: if the manual is not correct, he himself will say that he has no knowledge. - And it is not completely correct. >Correctness. |

| Darwin, Ch. | Mill Vs Darwin, Ch. | Dennett I 695 Ethics / Dennett: Question: what are the consequences of the fact that we are acting under time pressure? (> Darwin: acting under >time pressure); MillVsDarwin. I 697 Darwin: it is the best for the people to follow their permanent pulses. Physics/Dennett: this is true, such as mathematics, throughout the universe (> Minsky); >BarrowVs. Darwinists VsMill: the representatives of the theory of utility (Mill) should bear in mind that when we are before a decision we usually do not have time to consider the impact on the general public. I 698 MillVsDarwin: E.g. Nobody said, the art of navigation is not was based on astronomy, because sailors do not have time to calculate the almanac. As rational beings they take the finished work calculated at sea. So rational people lead their lives with ready opinions about right and wrong, and more difficult questions with ready opinions of smart and stupid. (> Internalisation). DennettVsMill: his system was highly impractical. In practice, we see many reasons, including those which we should not overlook. |

| Mill, J. St. | Dennett Vs Mill, J. St. | Dennett I 697 Ethics/Dennett: Question: What consequences result from the fact that we are acting under time pressure? > MillVsDarwin. I 695 Darwin: it is best for the human to follow their permanent impulses. Physics/Dennett: true, like mathematics, in the entire universe (> Minsky). BarrowVs. Darwin’s followers VsMill: the representatives of utility theory (Mill) should keep in mind that we usually do not have time to consider the impact on the general public when facing a decision. Dennett I 698 MillVsDarwin: No one asserts that the art of navigation is not based on astronomy, because sailors do not have time to calculate the almanac. As rational beings, they take the finished calculated work to sea. This way, rational people lead their lives with ready-made opinions about right and wrong and the more difficult questions of wise and foolish. (Internalization). DennettVsMill: this covered the fact that his system was highly impractical. In practice, we overlook many reasons, even those that we should not overlook. |
