| Title | Ontological considerations in the study of Logic | |
| Creator | Strauss, D.F.M. | |
| Description | Studying logical thinking requires a more than logical diversity within creation. As a consequence, an answer has to be given to the issue regarding the cohering diversity given in reality. All monistic -isms should be seen as attempts to give a negative answer to this question. The legacy of Reformational philosophy, however, does make it possible to address these issues with the aid of its theory of inter-modal coherences. This theory is articulated in terms of retrocipatory and anticipatory moments of coherence (called analogies). It enables one to come up with an evaluation evincing both a sense of critique and a sense of solidarity with what is called - in certain contexts of the philosophy of science - "epistemic values ”, In addition it provides one with a method to analyze the nature and scope of fundamental logical principles - viewed as modal analogies which at the lawside of the analytical aspect o f reality refer to other aspects of reality. In particular - against the background of certain starting points in Greek thought - a closer account is given of the controversial status o f the principle o f the excluded middle. In conclusion - with reference to particular examples - attention is given to various ways of exercising critique. | |
