Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book lays bare the central mistake of Aristotelian reasoning that has hindered logic's development for millennia. The author proposes a single, simple principle to replace Aristotle's erroneous axiom, and this leads to a revolution in logic. The author draws surprising connections to mathematics, showing the two abstract sciences to share perfect points of contact. The traditional syllogism is revealed to lack a vital cornerstone, and an improved system is created in its stead resulting in many novel forms of reasoning. The author's view constitutes a complete, radical, and potentially paradigm-shifting reformulation of logical science, opening the door to advances that will impact AI, computation, and the very nature of human thought itself.
