In epistemology, the Münchhausen trilemma demonstrates the impossibility of proving any truth, even in the fields of logic and mathematics. It is putatively one of the unsolved problems in philosophy. In this view the existence of anything is unknown or unknowable and that reason is incapable of providing sufficient rational grounds to justify either a belief that a thing exists or the belief that a thing does not exist. Do you think that this is an acceptable world view?
Religion means rape. Religion means terrorism. Religion means theocratic illegal wars. Debating alleged gawd things is an insane diversion away from our human duty to protect victims of religion
Its fairly logical, pleasantly sceptical, and suits some people well enough. Though it has to be said that, like solipsism, and its relatives, it is an ideal, in that it falls down because, even if I accept that nothing is provable, I still have to treat things in practice as real and proven.
For example. I would not live long, if I did not accept that my vision and hearing, 'prove' that there is a large fast truck headed down the road towards me, and jump out of the way.
Pushing back your epistemological problems into an ideal realm, (Munchhausen trilemma, exists in the same realm as Plato's forms.) does not really solve any problems, it just bypasses them.
Why waste your time upon all this verbiage ?? Life is for living .... to obsess over words leaves the victims of no hope of being rescued by us Atheists who can break their chains pay for their abortions raped by brutal believers
Eminently practical advice! That said, this is the "Philosophy & Meaning" page, so one should expect the occasional Gedankenexperiment, even if it appears like omphaloskepsis.
