I don't understand how to answer this. We read The Province of Philosophy by J. J. C. Smart if that helps.

This Equation can represent the philosophy that "The Truth is that the Whole could be Greater Than the Sum of its Parts", some examples of this "Truth" are:
-marriages
-the results of synergy
-the value of houses (add the value of each piece of wood, etc....they don't add up to the total value)
-your soul (ancient philosophy)
-general positive outlook on life.

Have you ever taken trigonometry in school before, my dear. Have you not heard of the right triangle properties in trig. you should. See if you can remember this. If anything at all, my dear, 5 should be the length of the hypothenuse. Ring the bell yet. What you just mention is that you are assuming two sides of a triangle has equal length, provided that the triangle is a right triangle. Then A^2 + B^2 = C^2 (^ = square), good enough, yes?

it extremely is from the Apostle Paul's letter to Christians residing in community at Ephesus (Letter to the Ephesians). He has in simple terms accomplished an argument interior the previous chapters that assessment the way the Ephesian Christian lived until now Christ, and how they stay as followers of Christ. the two verses on the hollow of financial ruin 5 underline Paul's standard argument that imitating Christ is their new rule for all times, and that imitation includes an imitation of Christ's love, it extremely is obviously a love that suffers for the loved. The verses rigidity that Christ's sacrifice on the bypass replace into one that replace into freely given to redeem humanity from sin --- and for no different reason than love.

It can't be. If it ever comes to the point in your life that someone convinces you that 2+2=5, than you know you have no more control in your life. That person has taken over.

Well, all the numbers and signs are all creations of mathematics, but you can reinvent their meaning. Maybe in an invented language, "2 + 2 = 5" means "a truth".......

If you used a math system where the base number is 1.25 and not 1. Then your numbers would look like this:
1.25 2.5 3.75 5.0 6.25 etc.
As pointed out mathematics is based on what society accepts. If we had only 4 fingers our math system would probably be based on 8 and not 10.

In my mind it would be the same way that 1 + 1 = 3 .... but i also would submit that since math is the creation of humankind, it stands to reason that the rules are as malleable as the creation.

2 + 2 = 5 is true in the sense that it is truly false.
