by Chris Doss --- It is a system of logic in the Hegelian sense of the word, which refers to the relationships between ideas as the develop in the unfolding of Absolute Spirit. Hegel was using the word Logik with its Greek root, logos, in mind, esp. the use of "logos" in Hellenistic and Roman philosophy as a technical term for the rational order underlying all things, as in the Bible's "en genesei en ho logos" (in the beginning was the word [rational ordering priniciple]), or the Stoic happit of equating logos, nous (mind) and Zeus, the divinity.
This is not "logic" in the Aristotelian or Russellian senses. ^^^^^ CB: In the context of this thread, in which the comparison between logic , grammar and math is "thrown out there", I was going to mention "logos" as the root of logic, since "word" suggests the comparison and overlap between grammar (or language) and logic. Grammar, logic and math are systems of ordered symbols. "The word" was important at the "beginning" of the human species, because language was important. Perhaps the Gospel reflects this fact.
