It is an opinion whether the body we see is moving or not. It is an opinion whether the person is breathing or not, whether we can observe his blood circulating or not. Every sign of death we think we observe is an opinion. Therefore whether he is dead is an opinion. All observations are opinions. I'm not sure this observation, made somewhat casually a number of posts ago, is worth the energy it has stimulated. It is important to theoretical philosophy; much less so to the practical aspect of living our daily lives. I ate dinner tonight; that I did so may is indeed merely my opinion, but it's a good enough opinion for me to go to sleep happily believing I am replete from a delightful Valentine's Day repast. Of course it's only an opinion that I'm happy, but it's an opinion I'm happy to hold..
