i'm relatively new to all this, but it looks fun so i'll give it a shot, just for fun.
lol.
Bertrand Russell maintains that all first premises are flawed so therefore all logic is flawed
I´m not really sure tucker´s paraphrasing was quite accurate. But if it was - yes, it would include Russel´s logic.
Why isn´t "it makes sense" a good enough reason to hold an opinion - particularly in the absence of a more reliable tool (such as logic - if it weren´t flawed)?
If there is a pen on the desk, there is not no pen on the desk. That is a double negation (--p, which is the same as stating p). This does not mean that the pen both exists and does not exist, though. Singning out...i'm relatively new to all this, but it looks fun so i'll give it a shot, just for fun.
non-existence exists as a result of everything that does exist. if i cast a my hand in front of a light, it casts a shadow that exists as the absence of light. in the same way, there is a sense in which everything actually is, and there is a sense in which everything actually isn't. "is" and "isn't" are necessarily contrary. if there is a structure, there can't not be a structure. if there is a pen on the desk, there can't not be a pen on the desk. if there were not a sense in which everything actually isn't, then everything which actually is couldn't possibly be said to exist. it would all contradict. for non-existence to not exist is for it to exist. for a non-structure (or a shadow) to not exist is for it to exist. if the non-structure (or shadow) did not exist, then neither could its contrast. so, non-existence must exist in order for existence to exist.
