MAN AND LOGIC - Jersey Flight

"The starting point of analysis of knowledge is not taken to be the study of the relation of the individual subject (whether it be organism or consciousness) to the opposing object but the study of the functioning and development of systems of collective, inter-subject activity based on practical transformation of external objects." V. A. Lektorsky, Subject Object Cognition, Conclusion, 1980

 
As per the ramifications this has for logic, the conclusion should be obvious. Who ever heard of logic apart from society? Logic is a representation we make to ourselves of the real world. This is not to say that objects outside us have no existence, quite the contrary, logic seeks to comprehend that existence in its objectivity. What then, do we mean here by objectivity? We mean the closest representation we can construct, given the limitations of our perception and conceptual capacities. In truth, all knowledge is and must be an approximation, but this in no way robs it of its authority. That it does, is the great lie and technique of the idealist. Exactitude functions as its own ideology in the domain of being, which is to say, when it's used to negate approximation, for failing to meet absolute standards. This false criterion is used to poison the value of knowledge in general, to rob life of its living authority.
