Is there an exception to everything?

Question

Even this very statement?

Answer 1

Once you except ~ you have settled and if you settled you are

giving up on your true dream to find that true spark in your life.

Answer 2

If the answer is "yes", then:

A) There is an exception to everything.
B) There is an exception to "there are exceptions to everything."
C) Thus (in accordance with B), there is something for which there are no exceptions.

How can both A and C be true at the same time?

On the otherhand, if we say that there are things for which there are no exceptions, what are they?

Answer 3

Only to rules are there exceptions and loopholes. AOI, if you per se were/is an exception, imagine the sun might not rise in the east and set in the west as an exception! Eisntein's theory of relativity bears resemblance to all things being relative.

Answer 4

If the sentence "There's an exception to every rule" is itself a rule, then consider: if it's true, then there must be at least one rule to which there is no exception --- and so there isn't an exception to every rule after all.
Therefore "There's an exception to every rule" is a self-contradictory statement. It has to be false.

A rule that has no exceptions is, apparently, rather exceptional ....

Answer 5

No.. if there was exception to everything then there would be no exception to this very statement.

Answer 6

Yes; the appearance of everything, that is to say, our first experience of a thing, its surface we sense for the first time, is its universal possibility, that it is a kind of thing. That things change is our mediated knowledge for and of experience, exception as a concept of difference

'Everything is Possible ?

After all, there is as good reason for taking everything to be impossible as to be possible: for every content (a content is always concrete) includes not only diverse but even opposite characteristics. Nothing is so impossible for instance, as this, that I am: for ‘I’ is at the same time simple self-relation and, as undoubtedly, relation to something else. The same may be seen in every other fact in the natural or spiritual world. Matter, it may be said, is impossible: for it is the unity of attraction and repulsion. The same is true of life, law, freedom ...

Generally speaking, it is the empty understanding which haunts these empty forms: and the business of philosophy in the matter is to show how null and meaningless they are. Whether a thing is possible or impossible, depends altogether on the subject-matter: that is, on the sum total of the elements in actuality, which, as it opens itself out, discloses itself to be necessity.

Answer 7

I guess if you search long enough or hard enough you can alsways find one but why should there have to be or necessarily why do we want a exception.If there is Always a exception then why bother with setting a rule or stating a cindition.Sometimes there needs to be NO EXCEPTION.

Answer 8

Not to everything. There are exceptions.

Answer 9

No that would be a contradiction. This is why the statement "There are no absolutes" is not true, because it would contradict its absolute claim of there being no absolutes.

Answer 10

Well there's always different ways of looking at everything...
