Mar 3, 2022 at 7:49 comment added exp8j @David Guderman But that exactly is the challenge, to widen the domain of applicability of truth and falsehood. A proposition could be emotionally true if it passed certain tests different from those currently named "logical". The ancient idea of Logos may be relevant here if it could be unburdened from dogma and general subjective visions.
Mar 3, 2022 at 0:15 comment added David Gudeman I don't even know how you could apply the descriptions true or false to a text that doesn't express a particular proposition. "Thought provoking", maybe, or "inspiring", but not true or false.

Mar 2, 2022 at 10:18 comment added exp8j @Mauro ALLEGRANZA Yes that's true, but then I wonder how real is the disagreement that can result from reading the works of the great minds?
Mar 2, 2022 at 10:09 comment added Mauro ALLEGRANZA You can easily find many examples in "post-modern" philosophy,,, but also ancient text: Eraclitus, Parmenides, Tao Te Ching, are very very difficult to understand and we may read them as "thought-provoking". There is no reason to assume that "communication" must be restricted to mathematical-scientific language.
