Re: They Laughed At Bozo The Clown

History repeated. Let me quote Giordano Bruno who faced out Oxford doctors and scientific estabishment of his time ...

Actually, he was burned alive by the religious establishment of his time.

And most of the charges that led to his burning stemmed from purely religious heresies, nothing that would have anything to do what we would call science today.

Re: Warrant

Which is why no one (except maybe jar) knew what he was talking about.

The term warrant seems to be, in philosophy, a pretty idiosyncratic idea:

quote:
The Toulmin Model of Argumentation, a diagram containing six interrelated components used for analyzing arguments, was considered his most influential work, particularly in the field of rhetoric and communication, and in computer science.

Toulmin's work seems to be of interest mainly in rhetoric and communications.
