Problem: Come up with your own original example of a 'declarative sentence' (not one from the lecture or the textbook). What is the difference between 'believing' the proposition this sentence expresses, 'disbelieving' it, and 'suspending judgment' about it? Why are these options 'mutually exclusive' at a given time?
Your answer
Consider this statement: "The Mona Lisa is a beautiful painting." What would the 'realist', the 'nihilist', the 'relativist', and the 'philosophical skeptic' (about beauty) each say about this statement, and why?
