[FRIAM] New ways of understanding the world

[Douglass Carmichael]

With the election and work i have not kept up.. so this might be obvious but 

the origin  of “logic” is the greek logos, which means structure.  If we compare economy with ecology we see that nomos means man made law whereas logos is structure in nature. (even the old testament has in the begin was the word, but the original Greek has “in the beginning was logos”

Thinking is “right” when it leads to expectations that prove out in the long run.  What thinking is “right” depends on what one  is thinking about.  Some logic’s are more basic, more universal than others.  In the very long run, we may hope to discover and agree upon fundamental principles underlying all logics, a logic of logics, if you ill. But for the foreseeable future what argument is logical will depend on what we are talking about.
