A week or so ago I said I had a question I wanted you all to think about that would serve a purpose to help each of us open up our assumptions, which we may or may not know exist, and help us to understand how we think and maybe why we think and believe the way we do. The first thing we need to ask ourselves deals with the type of logic we use, again whether we are aware of it or not. Bear with me as I try to explain.
Given two contradictory statements, philisophically speaking, you have two options.
Option 1:
EITHER Statement 1 is true and Statement 2 is false OR Statement 1 is false and Statement 2 is true. Y
Option 2:
BOTH Statement 1 AND Statement 2 are true.
Now, which logical system do you ascribe to? (EITHER OR / BOTH AND) Why? Explain. Caution, read the above statements again and think very hard about what I'm asking. This will be fun!
