On Truth and Falsity

                     The False Logic of the Skeptics

The skeptics contend that the form of logic used by the dogmatists is always invalid, whereas their own form of logic is valid. At times. the skeptics make the dogmatic conclusion that the logical arguments of the dogmatists cannot be real, but that contradicts their own conclusions that no one can ever tell the difference between truth and falsity. In other words, they dogmatically conclude that the arguments of the dogmatists can never be real even though they also maintain a philosophy that states that no one can tell if anything is real or not. pb.

The skeptics admit that humans have appearances. They also admit that according to their logic, judgments can be made about appearances. But all of their judgments about appearances are the same; that is, that no one can tell the difference between the real and the unreal. But if that happens to be the only valid judgment that humans can make, then all speculative logic and investigations into that which is real or not real, according to the skeptics, can only be useless and a waste of time. But if humans can make only one valid judgment, then all other judgments about appearances can only be invalid. The skeptics dogmatically assert that their one judgment can be the only valid judgment, but if that is true, then human intelligence itself would be impossible. If human intelligence were impossible, then all judgments would be impossible including the skeptics one judgment. In effect, the skeptics argue that humans have no intelligence, and that humans must be equal to the animals and should conduct their lives accordingly.
