Talk:Are axioms definitions in disguise?

Comment

How should one interpret this question outside the context of some type of formal system or theory? Syntactically, an axiom is a "sentence", i.e. a well-formed formula in the sense of formal logic, but what exactly is being asked by "Are axioms definitions in disguise?"

Nonsense

I cannot make any sense of this argument: "The proposition commits the w:nominalist fallacy by assuming that the earth (geo) that we measure (meter), exists merely because the geometers said so. See the objection to the first argument pro."

I therefore removed it, but I was reverted. To my mind, arguments have to make some minimal sense, or else the wikidebates will be drowned in very low-quality material. --Dan Polansky (discuss • contribs) 06:12, 27 November 2024 (UTC)
