Is The Ultimate Law of Philosophy a Fallacy?

Historical archive only. New interaction is disabled.

Original Question

When I first encountered this so-called "Ultimate Law" I questioned it immediately but now I think about our finite limitations to consider such concepts as reality or existence or ect.


I have questions of my own that neither logic or math can solve to my satisfaction but take comfort from paradoxes.


 

Comments on Question

Of course, I realize logic is only the guide posts and math can justify unconfirmed realites. 

The phrasing of your question, and your responses, imply that you're not fully sure of what you're talking about. Maybe think about what this 'ultimate law' is supposed to look like, then make another post?

I am as certain as the fictional on board AI computer of the  H.A. L. 9000 series character in the movie 2001.

I don't understand what you mean by "Ultimate Law." I searched online but did not find anything that might be appropriate to your question. 

Hi, Robert W. Armijo!


An Ultimate Law of Philosophy sounds very controversial, but very intriguing.


Keep in mind, however, that a statement alone cannot commit a logical fallacy in the sense of being a mistake in reasoning that prevents an argument from fulfilling its rational persuasive task. A logical fallacy occurs in the course of an argument or inference . So far, one cannot argue a point beyond the known epistemological networks is a lone statement. Do you not recall the argument in which the Ultimate Law was situated? Supposing you don’t, this knowledge might be lost forever, since besides you there are none alive who can even recall the Ultimate Law itself. In the meantime, as an echo to your comments towards the logically fallacious community, may we poke a little fun at you for your lack of preparation in submitting this Question? Once you provide us with the argument in which the Law was situated, we can get to work on answering your post with a view towards whether any fallacies have been committed. For example, was the Ultimate Law intended to work alongside other premises to support a refutation of the meaningfulness of metaphysical claims?


Thank you, Robert.
