User talk:Glaukon

Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello, Glaukon, I'm Kafziel. I noticed you were new, or at least that nobody has officially welcomed you yet, so let me be the first to say hello, give you some tips, and share a few useful links.

Here are some links you might find helpful:

I know they're a little boring (okay... a lot boring) but they may come in handy someday.

I give every newcomer two tips for adding content: cite references whenever possible, and try to set aside any personal points of view. Aside from that, just be patient and receptive, ask questions whenever you need to, and have a good time. If you want to experiment with coding or see how articles will look before you post them, you can use your own private sandbox (at User:Glaukon/sandbox) for any tests you want to do.

Now that you have your own user name, you can sign your comments on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~). This will automatically stamp your user name, the time, and the date. That will help other users reply to your posts. You may also want to fill out your user page to tell others a bit about yourself.

I hope this information is useful to you, and I'm looking forward to seeing your contributions. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me for help. Good luck, and happy editing! Kafziel 21:47, 10 September 2006 (UTC) [reply]

Paraconsistent Logic

Hello. Yes I am (er perhaps have been) professionally interested in Paraconsistent Logics. My Dissertation is a huge tome entitled "Ineffability and Self-Refutation: Non-Monotonic Logic in the Thought of Pseudo-Dionysius, Sextus Empiricus, and the Astasahasrika Prajnaparamita." Since working on it, I have fallen quite behind on the developments in Paraconsistent Logic. I wrote an article on it in early 05, which was lost (and one of the several copies of it was destroyed by the Hurricane Katrina!), but by the time I re-wrote it, it was obsolete, and Bremer had already said the only interesting thing in it, sigh. Further I mostly worked via book and article rather than web-availible stuff even when I was working so I can't point you too much there either. Raymundo Morado, did a brilliant bibliography of Paraconsistent Logics, but I don't think it was ever published and is probably out of date now anyway. I've been trying to look at some of Bremer's stuff to catch back up. Frankly, it looks like there is far more stuff in Europe and Australia than here. On Rescher, hmm http://logica.rug.ac.be/adlog/ref.html mentions it, I just don't think his stuff is on-line yet. Oh, the Rescher thing is mostly on Pierce not C. I. Lewis, I now see. I could send you excerpts from my diss on PL, but it won't tell you anything you don't already know, unless it's news to you that Batens-style adaptive logics wind up being non-monotonic as well as paraconsistent, and the NMLs represent a whole style of PLs that Priest and Routley didn't think of back when they were summarizing the situation (and in other parts, that these PL/NMLs have pre-cursors in the logical thought of Sextus, Pseudo-Dionysius, the Asta, and perhaps elsewhere in the apophatic mysticism traditions). Also I guess I could send you my paper on how self-contradictions behave strangely in NMLs. But I'm not certain how else I can help you. Bmorton3 20:50, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am now proud owner of a TUSC account!

Your image

Well, at the moment it's saying it needs more information...

In basic terms what you need to do is add the sort of infromation you would put if writing a catalouge entry for the image in an archive.

Once that's done it can be moved to Commons by anyone :) Sfan00 IMG (talk) 19:13, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
