Unpublished and Untenured, a Philosopher Inspired a Cult Following
&quot;It is raining, but I don&#x27;t believe it is raining&quot; is certainly valid if I propose it as one possible thing happening in the world, and yet if I make that statement with the added context of &quot;[I am asserting that right now] it is raining...&quot; then it is clearly contradictory. Stripping away context makes the statement naturally ambiguous, and yet some decision is being made about what kind of context is &quot;correct&quot; or &quot;logical&quot;? Am I missing something here?
