Hidden dogmas, the most Dangerous ones…

Things we forget can sometimes be dangerous. And even though as time passes we learn new things, it is evenly true that as time passes we also FORGET things we one knew… And if these things are dogmas that are formulating our thinking for thousands of years, then things can be really critical. One of these is the axiom that “A logical proposition can be EITHER true or false”! We have based all of our mathematical logic on that axiom and we have so much forgotten that IT IS an axiom that we have rendered it into a dangerous dogma. Dialetheism is the other way and it can be as valid too! Take for example the phrase “This logical proposition if false”. What is it after all? True or False?!? Or maybe… BOTH?!? No matter what the “truth” is, we must never forget that we forget!

Spiros Kakos is a thinker located in Greece. He has been Chief Editor of Harmonia Philosophica since its inception. In the past he has worked as a senior technical advisor for many years. In his free time he develops software solutions and contributes to the open source community. He has also worked as a phD researcher in the Advanced Materials sector related to the PCB industry. He likes reading and writting, not only philosophy but also in general. He believes that science and religion are two sides of the same coin and is profoundly interested in Religion and Science philosophy. His philosophical work is mainly concentrated on an effort to free thinking of "logic" and reconcile all philosophical opinions under the umbrella of the "One" that Parmenides - one of the first thinkers - visualized. The "Harmonia Philosophica" articles program is the tool that will accomplish that. Life's purpose is to be defeated by greater things. And the most important things in life are illogical. We must fight the dogmatic belief in "logic" if we are to stay humans... Credo quia absurdum!

  1. It posits nothing, and therefore is neither true nor false. Only in the sense that it could be either is it both.
