[1] Logical Dogmatism is rooted in the ideology of identity. It's what happens when a mono-form pre-determines, pre-dictates, the nature of reality, slicing off plurality and contradiction from the total picture of being. This form has its genesis in the superstitious thought of Aristotle.
[2] Logical Superstition consists of false, unconscious, foundational beliefs that are taken to be the authoritative and infallible axioms of logic. The assumption is made that their simplicity is "complete," and yet they contain presuppositions that expose the lie of their form.
[3] Where the dogmatic, superstitious form of Identity-Logic is taken as the foundational starting point, the "absolute authority," to which all logic must mindlessly conform (this form not being aware of its own presuppositions)... then logic itself becomes a form of irrationalism. Hence, the term, "Logical Irrationalism."
[4] Man's thought-life has been sabotaged by Aristotle's logical form, even though this form, at one point, represented an advance in thought, it now serves to restrict and limit the progress of thought. It does this by positing the conclusion of what reality is before it has even carried out an investigation, it then tries to force reality to conform to a monad, a Logical Idealism or Dogmatism.
[5] The best that Identity-Logic can do is to obtain to the tyrannical consistency (consistent with its own dogmatism) of an instrumental rationality. This "logic of efficiency" is a threat to the social world, it divides, severs and reduces the vitality of the Social, of human relations, to mere mechanistic calculations, to scheming forms that do violence against social quality and undermine the necessity of the Social.
[6] To posit non-contradiction as a ruling premise, or axiom, is to begin with an assumption that does violence to nature; is to impose an idealism against reality, to which reality is superficially made to conform. The result is that one ends up, not only distorting the plural and non-static nature of reality, but one ultimately fails to comprehend reality, a Logical Idealism is posited in place of reality, against the plural and historical nature of being. Totality is forfeited and sacrificed to the lie of a presuppositionally, unconscious idealism, that assumes the finality of a superstitious Logical-Monism. This Logical-Monism, though undetected by man, has the form and function of religion. The values produced by it do not comprise values of social intelligence, but socially destructive superstitions that ultimately lead to the creation of a social tyranny over the species. All Intelligent Values, even if they are not conscious, embody the genius of a Dialectical Logic.
[7] The notion of non-contradiction, when analyzed by dialectical thought, is quickly found to collapse into hypocrisy and contradiction, into the negation of its own form. (This negation doesn't come from the outside but emerges from the unconscious hypocrisy of the form itself). Sitting at its base lies a plural foundation that is necessary for the form itself to exist. Wherever one finds the notion of "non-contradiction," there one is guaranteed, to find at its more primitive base, more authoritative, plural-concepts, that make the notion of non-contradiction intelligible, possible.
[8] One of the easier ways to collapse noncontradiction is to realize the historical, plural development of the notion itself. This concept didn't happen overnight, but took time and many minds, influencing each other through successive generations.
[9] Dialectic is not a mysticism or strain at abstraction, it is (among other things) Thought set free from the artificial boundaries of idealism, of immediacy, from the lie of immaterialism.
[10] Humans cannot see these errors or dangers in the logical forms they have inherited because the seeing of them requires a more advanced logic, a logic that has the presuppositional capacity to deconstruct the superstition of the Aristotelian form, this ability, at present, is only found in the presuppositional thoroughness of dialectics.
