Why does the sentence have to be false?
Putnam’s Argument
- Can we say: “Brains in a Vat”?
- The idea causes a contradiction: We can only be brains in the vat within in the current simulation
- Thus, the sentence does not represent reality but represents whatever is in the simulation
- It follows that we are not brains in a vat
Note
Does from that follow that we are not exposed to another form of exposure?
