Around the third millennium B.C. in the Fertile Crescent, a
world-system with a single world-economy, covering very vast
regions, began to form. Mesopotamia became the center of this
world-system. This was possible due to the development of common
commercial law and logical competence there. The expansion of the
world-economy during the Silk Road period from the 4th century B.C.
to the early 5th century A.D. across various countries of Eurasia
was accompanied by the spread of logical competence, first formed
in Mesopotamia, as a mechanism of legal hermeneutics to draw
logical conclusions without fallacies. This competence was
simultaneously comprehended in different cultures connected by the
Great Silk Road - in ancient Greek logic (4th - 2nd centuries
B.C.); ancient Chinese proto-logic (5th - 2nd centuries B.C.);
Judaic logical hermeneutics (1st - 2nd centuries A.D.); and in
Indian-Buddhist logic (2nd - 6th centuries A.D.). The book analyzes
the emergence of logic and its spread and early forms of its
reflection. Consequently, logical competence is seen not as an
innate ability, but as a social practice first established in
Mesopotamia. Logic as a science became possible only after the
development of logical competence as an accepted social practice.
On the other hand, this view is a non-Marxist assessment of the
early form of the world-system, centered on international law and
logical competence, which made the world-economy and international
trade then possible.
