What is a proposition? Here is my definition:
A proposition is a representation to be considered
I believe that propositions are not necessarily beliefs. Sometimes people make propositions for the purpose of evaluation rather than asserting their opinion. In this regard, a proposition is a tool to help people organize their thoughts. Philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein (in the above photo) once said,
"If a false thought is so much as expressed boldly and clearly, a great deal has already been gained." (Culture and Value, 1980 posthumous)
