>first principles can’t be propositional! Checkmate!
I don’t even know what you mean by this. That first principles are not propositions? Yes, correct. That first principles are impossible to express propositionally/as judgments? Also yes, Hegel and Aristotle are in your corner, so is Fichte. In Fichte the proposition meant to represent the absolute is unthinkable; in Hegel all propositions are ipso facto partial and misleading; in Aristotle God is an unknowable particular. You’re just slinging shit, I suspect you mean something like “the ultimate truth must be beyond knowing as prior to knowing” which you take as “follow your feels, so much for philosophy.” You want me to give a complete account of epistemology in a paragraph to an arrogant, undereducated stranger who thinks philosophy is valueless. No, fuck you.
