The Quine citation below on the 6th page of Zoro's book on Neurath is an appetizer for what's to come. From what I know through #SusanHaack 's discussion of Quine and Carnap I'm looking forward to the main dish. I expect it to be really tasty!

After a year of exploring the pitfalls of language, #logic and #methodology I came back to #SusanHaack 's witty 2019 paper "Post “Post-Truth”: Are We There Yet?". It's not without irony, as this poem, printed in her book, shows:

@adewebb @pyrrho19 @e_sphaera @blooming_rose @jdewveall @philosophy @mishi @theologidons I "met" #SusanHaack at the beginning of my journey. Her journey has led her to many places, and her views on problems highlighted things I hadn't even heard of. As my journey continues I sometimes return to one of her subjects, e.g., logic, epistemology, law or science. Often I disagree with her, but always like one disagrees with a friend.

In my job I often work with people who believe that words and their relations can define the real world with an #ontology. Most of them never realize that they believe in 18th century German Enlightenment philosophy (i.e., #Wolff) - and bad #metaphysics.

#SusanHaack has introduced scores of people to #CSPeirce #Pragmatism - which, in my book, is the only way to formally justify a belief in a #truth, the foundation of #logic. The following paper is a really good read.
