I suppose what you mean is causal laws or mechanisms of social psychology, class struggle etc. They have empirically testable content. I was speaking of logic proper, as a in 'logical system', which is a formal language and a set of axioms and rules from which one deduces statements. Since you were referring to 'dialectical logic' in the original post I was interested in what precisely this means: Does it exist and if so, how does one go about to construct it (are there modern texts that does this)? If it can be expressed in words then it can be expressed in strings of symbols too. //Dave Z _______________________________________________ ope mailing list ope@lists.csuchico.edu https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/ope
