Evolvemental Logic
While Logic is regarded by some as the essence of Philosophy, the term has hardly been univocal. It might be defined generally as 'the study of Consequence', namely of the following of something from some given condition or conditions. The primary disagreement in Logic concerns whether it inheres in Existence, or it is an interpretation of Existence. Hybrid positions include the view that Logical Interpretation mirrors Existential Logic, and the thesis that Interpretation is itself Existential, namely, an Objective process incarnating in a Subject. The main types of Logic are Deductive, Inductive, and Dialectical. In Deductive Logic, Particularity follows from Universality; in Inductive Logic, Universality from Particularity; and, in Dialectical Logic, a Universal follows from contradictory Particulars. Standard contemporary Academic 'Logic' courses are a type of Deductive Logic that might be called 'Analytic'. Deductive Logic, at its Aristotelian inception, was Interpretation mirroring Existence. Analytic Logic is Interpretative, but uncertain as to its Existential presuppositions. Inductive Logic is non-Existentially Interpretive. Dialectical Logic, notably Hegelian and Marxist, including Interpretive processes, is Existential. Traditional Existential Logic has been Deterministic, because a Consequence inherently following would seem to preclude Freedom. Now, Evolvemental Logic, entailing the increase in Complexity from given conditions, is pervasively Existential, e. g. both in the general organic sphere, i. e.. the combination of mutation and re-integration, and intra-Individualistically, i. e. the combination of Exposition and Propriation. However, it is not Deterministic, because it entails indefiniteness, in its Becoming-Diverse component, e. g. doubling, tripling, etc. are all possible degrees of quantitative Diversification. It is this Indeterminacy that the Individual experiences as 'freedom of choice'.
