Philosophy Wire: Forbidden ideas, sets, self-reference...


Philosophy Wire by Spiros Kakos [2014-01-05]: After a failed try in 2003, German officials are again seeking to ban the country's largest far-right party. State leaders plan to file their case soon with Germany's highest court - but it's a controversial move. [1] How can you predict actions based on the theory? Must you ban a bad theory? If you the one who judges then you can easily... decide. But then you will have nothing to protect you when your theory becomes the "bad" one... But what if the ideas of the other forbid... ideas? Then we should ban them! But can you ban the banning? Self-reference. Sets. Bloody Cantor... We need a politician to solve the greatest of all mathematical problems! Because at the end everything is a matter of decision.
