This book offers insight into the nature of meaningful discourse.
It presents an argument of great intellectual scope written by an
author with more than four decades of experience. Readers will gain
a deeper understanding into three theories of the logos: analytic,
dialectical, and oceanic. The author first introduces and contrasts
these three theories. He then assesses them with respect to their
basic parameters: necessity, truth, negation, infinity, as well as
their use in mathematics. Analytic Aristotelian logic has
traditionally claimed uniqueness, most recently in its Fregean and
post-Fregean variants. Dialectical logic was first proposed by
Hegel. The account presented here cuts through the dense, often
incomprehensible Hegelian text. Oceanic logic was never identified
as such, but the author gives numerous examples of its use from the
history of philosophy. The final chapter addresses the plurality of
the three theories and of how we should deal with it. The author
first worked in analytic logic in the 1970s and 1980s, first
researched dialectical logic in the 1990s, and discovered oceanic
logic in the 2000s. This book represents the culmination of
reflections that have lasted an entire scholarly career.
