Hi everyone, Actually I am Indonesian not japanese. I am new to philosophy and very interested in logic and mathematics. As an introduction, I want to know whether or not our logic is absolute. I don't know, maybe my question is already asked by others. Thank you in advance. Hayashi

As an introduction, I want to know whether or not our logic is absolute.... Hayashi Both are axiom-based systems if that is any answer. There are many logics, not just one, we commonly use bi-valent logic. I see both - logic(s) and mathematics - as languages, as useful tools. Just hearing the word absolute gives me shivers. Such a problematic, much abused word. One you wouldn't wish on your worst enemies. But then I am sure there are plenty of others who would disagree, in particular when logic or mathematics are involved.
