80. In the schema “ This is how things stand” the “how things stand” is
a handle for the truth-functions.
A general propositional form determines a proposition as part of a
calculus.
yes – the truth function game – like any game runs on the premise – this
is ‘how things stand’
however any concept in any game is open to question – open to doubt
the truth function calculus is a product of questioning and doubt –
however if you play the game –
you play it as prescribed –
you play it on the premise
‘this is how things stand’ –
there is no room for questioning and doubt in the game as played
there is no general propositional form –
a proposition is a proposal – and a proposal can take any number of
different forms
devising a calculus is devising a game
and yes – you can play games with propositions
