[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.
