Phil HL - Religious Language -
Falsification Principle
- Falsification
- For a sentence to be meaningful, it must be able to be falsified
- religious statements are immune to falsification therefore are meaningless
- God moves in mysterious ways (can't be falsified)
- RM Hare
- Religious statements are not assertions
- therefore not verifiable or falsifiable
- meaningless
- Bliks: perspectives you consider when interpreting a sentence
- A religious person's blik:
- many things count as evidence for God
- a beautiful sunset
- new life
- extra
- a statement must be bound by some criteria to be useful/meaningful
- meaningless if not open to some process of falsification/verification
