Then saying there must be an impulse, that too is not knowable. Then claiming that is a temporal activity is also not knowable, then claiming its a contradiction is all based on non knowable things is not logical. If you can make claims that have some kind of knowable meaning, then sure, logic will apply. | |
| Aug 13, 2015 at 5:06 | comment | added | virmaior | I don't think that quite follows at least on the majority views about logic. Modus ponens for instance doesn't require a temporal gap between, (1) A -> B and (2) A. It just requires the two claims. / i.e., We can distinguish logical consequence and sequence from temporal consequence and sequence. In fact, one issue with first-order logic is that it is not tensed but the world we live in seems to be tensed (future/present/past). | |
