Logic is not assimilable

Logic cannot be assimilated into anything. It is a pristine utility of the mind. It is what we use to determine the goodness of anything whatsoever. It is no more meant to be assimilated than a stirring spoon is meant to be compatible with cookie dough.

You call up logic as you pick up a spoon. You use it. Then you put it back into your consciousness where it is in storage, with reason, will and various other utilities which together make consciousness the fundamental moral compass and thought-producer of our remarkable being.

One note:

If you are super attentive, you will see that I have skipped over a rather substantial portion of the Peirce text I’ve followed sequentially since beginning this exploration. I thought of moving entirely to another group of Peirce resources, but was easily persuaded to let the excising be and take up the sequence when it made sense to do so.

What I zapped was a further set of references to the complex nature of the Peirce understanding and an extended discussion of the German mind. You can easily get to the excised portions by taking the reference below and Googling.

Now I am not a philosopher so I am sure I tread on difficult ground by calling venerable terms like logic and will and even freedom utilities. But if the cyber-age teaches us anything, it is the foundational importance of utilities.

It makes things simpler in my view to see Reality as all and attribute ontological status to universal values and universal utilities. Such a declension is understandable. How can a philosophy have universal significance if it cannot be understood?

I have already said enough of the second argument which seeks to assimilate Logic to Esthetics. Its subjective leaning is manifest.
