Talk:Nelson Goodman

message: phenomonologist (?)
bleen paradox - what if sky just looks blue, but one day in the future may turn green? thus the sky is not blue, it is bleen. phenomonologist reasoning to find truth, in contrast to positivist (inductive logic) proof of truth.

The discussion of bleen and grue that were contained on this page are irrelevant to Nelson Goodman.  What is above termed the bleen paradox, while it may be a paradox which utilises the terms grue and bleen which were coined by Goodman, is significantly different from the new riddle of induction introduced by Goodman.  Goodman was discussing induction when proposing grue and the intent was to demonstrate that (so-called) grue-some predicates are cannot be used for induction.  Discussions of the predicate grue that are completely outside of Goodman's usage ought to appear on the Grue page, not on Goodman's page.
Furthermore, in the sidebar under the photo, Nelson Goodman's name should be given as Nelson Goodman, not as W.V.O. Quine. So there.

message: The section 'Nominalism and mereology' needs substantial editing. Much of it is not on Goodman and the parts that are should be extended and made a lot clearer. Wadh27NK (talk) 13:45, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

message: On behalf of the general audience, I have replaced the misleading and confusing expression "just in case", with its correct, and easily understood equivalent, "if, and only if" (also, in more technical writing, "if and only if"). The following explains the error:
