The

absurdity

of

reality-via

Aristotelian logic
All thinking via Aristotelian
logic leads to the absurdity, or
the meaninglessness of all views
This case study is meant to give
weight to the demonstration that all
conceptualisations, all products of
thinking collapse into absurdity, or
meaninglessness if Aristotelian
logic is an epistemic condition of
truth which this thesis denies

Aristotelian logic contradicts the


real world. There are phenomena in
the real world which according to the
law of non-contradiction can not be
there-yet they are ie the wave-particle
nature of light. Here is another
phenomenon which is there, does
exist and contradicts the law of noncontradiction These phenomena show
the limits of Aristotelian logic
With

Kants

transcendental

idealism, according to Hegel, we get


the idea that the contradictions in the

world are put there by the categories


of the Understanding. In other
words it is thought or reason that
create the contradiction in the world not
the world itself. Hegel claimed instead
that the contradictions had their seat in
the

very

nature

of

the

Aristotelian logic would


contradiction can be true yet

world
say no
reality

contradicts that truth for In reality a


contradiction can be true. Is this glass
half full or is it half empty as the
Deans glass of the poet colin leslie
dean which no one has seen before he

points out this Deans glass is in

itself both half empty and half full


both

simultaneously but that does

contradict the law of non-contradiction


of Aristotelian logic which does say a
contradiction cant be true but the Dean
glass exists it is true

in reality a contradiction can exist


and be true thus Aristotelian logic
by reality is shown not to be true
this finding by colin leslie dean has a
number of consequences

1) Aristotelian

logic

does

not

mirror reality it infact creates a


reality

Aristotelian

logics

reality is a reality that does not


correspond
Aristotelian

to

our

logic

reality.

creates

particular ontology and reality


due to an inbuilt ontology in
Aristotelian logic
2) Aristotelian logic infact creates
a reality/ontology based on the
ontology of Aristotelian logic
namely the law of identity and

the law of non-contradiction ie


in Aristotelian logics reality
there

are

essences

and

contradictions leading to
structure

of

dualisms

reality/ontology
and essences

no
a

this

with dualisms
created

by

Aristotelian logic as Deans


glass shows is not the reality
we

live

in

-Just

as

Newtonian physics is not the


physics of the universe just as
Euclidean geometry is not the

10

geometry

of

the

universe

Aristotelian logic is not the logic


of the universe A Dilemma
physicists
logic

to

uses

Aristotelian

arrive

at

paradox/contradiction which they


say

exists

but

their

very

Aristotelian logic they use to get


that says the paradox/contradiction
cant exist -as with Deans glass either a) they abide by the rules of
Aristotelian logic and say the
paradox/contradiction

cant

exist

which would mean they are wrong

11

or have made a mistake in saying


paradox/contradiction exists or b)
they say the paradox/contradiction
does exist but then that makes
invalid the Aristotelian logic they
have used to get the result that the
paradox/contradiction does exists
thus if their reasonings are invalid
how can they logically know the
paradox/contradiction does exists
The

scientists

accept

their

paradox/contradiction conclusion to
be

true/exist

which

their

Aristotelian logic they use to

12

arrive at that paradox/contradiction


conclusion says is not true/exist ie
in Schrdingers cat

it is both

dead and alive at the same time


now the Aristotelian logic they
use

to

get

this

paradox/contradiction denies that


the paradox/contradiction can exist
Yet physicists say it does exist
thus we have the dilemma as above
The way out of the dilemma is
just to see that Aristotelian logic
is not the logic of the universewhich scientists assume it is

13

without proving it is In other


words scientists use Aristotelian
logic because they assume it is the
logic of the universe but they dont
prove Aristotelian logic is the
logic of the universe thus their
unproven belief that Aristotelian
logic is the logic of the universe is
just

faith

based-yet

some

scientists will criticize religions


for being faith based

3) If Aristotelian logic as it did


for

the

nihilists

and

existentialists leads you to see

14

the

universe/reality

meaningless
Aristotelian

as

just
logic

drop
for

as

Deans glass shows logic does


not mirror our universe/reality
for this logic has no epistemic
value in making claims about
our reality-which is different to
the

reality

created

by

Aristotelian logic

4) Aristotelian logic is not an


epistemic condition of truth as -

15

reality can show that logic is


wrongas Deans glass shows
5) if

Aristotelian

logic

says

something cant exist this does


not mean that it does not exist
as Deans glass shows
6) Science believes the universe is
logical

ie

Aristotelian

logic

[without proof]- Deans glass


shows

they

are

wrong

in

assuming this
7) Philosophers

and

scientists

believe that if something ends in

16

contradiction or is contradictory
then it cant be true- Deans
glass shows they are wrong in
assuming this
8) Deans

glass

shows

the

universe can be contradictory


Thus all those philosophical
and scientific arguments that
dismiss systems that end in
contradiction as not being true
become untenable Thus we have
then that all those systems
dismissed

for

being

in

17

contradiction may be in fact be


true nevertheless
9) The

fact

of

Deans

glass

means that universe becomes a


much

more

interesting

thing

where in terms of logic it can


be totally or partially illogical
irrational made up of things etc
that in terms of Aristotelian
logic are a contradiction

10) The
means

fact

of

that

Deans
the

illogical can be true

glass

irrational

18

11) The

fact

means

of

that

Deans

glass

science

and

philosophy lose their right to


tell us what the universe is as
in their systems the universe is
assumed

to

be

logical

ie

Aristotelian logic where in fact

we see it can be illogical ending


in contradiction
12) The

fact

of

Deans

glass

means we have to drop the belief


philosophy and science are the
only true adjudicators of what

19

the universe is we have to drop


the

belief

in

the

universal

of

the

scientific

applicability

method and approach, and the


view

that

empirical

constitutes

the

science
most

"authoritative" worldview or the


most valuable part of human
learningto the exclusion of
other viewpoints. -As these
beliefs

are

based

upon

Aristotelian logic and its laws

ie
exist

that a contradiction cant


since

the

universe

is

20

logical ie contradiction free-but


Deans

glass

shows

these

beliefs are wrong


13) Deans glass shows we must
face the universe with no help
from logic- perhaps even to face
the

universe

by

dropping

Aristotelian logic and its laws-

which can contradict reality


14) \It makes one wonder what
Aristotle would have done if
he was aware of Deans glass
when he was working it his law

21

of non-contradiction-as Deans
glass proves his

law of non-

contradiction is not true-perhaps


perhaps

Western philosophy

and science would have gone in


other directions

Now the real interesting thing


about deans glass is why no one has
seen

the

consequence

contradiction-and
before .This half/full

glass has been around for decades


perhaps

centuries-

with

people

22

asking is it half full or is it half


empty

Now

philosophy

Phd

Professors
student

of
post

doctoral the so called brightest minds


in the land etc not one of them has
seen what colin leslie dean has seenthe deans glass- and the question is
why not? perhaps some tentative
answers might be for the sociology
of knowledge social psychology etc

1) they are all sheep just going along


with old patterns of thinking

23

2)

they

dont

really

have

critical/analytic mind
3) they cant think simply and see
simple

solutions

and

simple

consequences they are just to much


of sophisticated thinkers that they
cant see real simple problems or
simple consequences
For those who want to see simple
contradictions-and

there

consequences that no one has seen


before
