5629 | If a proposition implies any false consequences, then it is false [Kant] |
Full Idea: If only a single false consequence can be derived from a proposition, then this proposition is false. | |
From: Immanuel Kant (Critique of Pure Reason [1781], B819/A791) | |
A reaction: Seems right. Of course, it might imply entirely true consequences, and still be false. This idea has to be one of the foundations (sic) of coherentism about truth and justification. |
