A system of philosophy of the sort presented in this and the
following volumes begins with logic. Philosophy properly speaking
is characterized by the kind oflogic it employs, for what it
employs it assumes, however silently; and what it assumes it
presupposes. The logic stands behind the ontology and is, so to
speak, metaphysically prior. One word of caution. The philosophical
aspects of logic have lagged behind the mathematical aspects in
point of view of interest and develop ment. The work of N. Rescher
and others have gone a long way to correct this. However, their
work on philosophical logic has been more concerned with the
logical than with the philosophical aspects. I have in mind another
approach, one that would call attention to the ontological
(systematic meta physics) or metaphysical (critical ontology)
aspects, whichever term you prefer. It is this approach which I
have pursued in the following chapters. Since together they stand
at the head of a system of philosophy which has been developed in
some seventeen books, a system which ranges over all of the topics
of philosophy, the chosen approach can be seen as the necessary
one. But I have not written any logic, I have merely indicated the
sort of logic that has to be written."
