Destruction of Logic from Within (eBook)

Experiments in Christian Thought Vol. IThe Destruction of Logic from Within: Christian Spiritual Fulfillment as a Function of Conscious Awareness and Free WillMatthew M. KryzanowskiThe limitations of logic in the pursuit of a deeper understanding of the nature of reality has been encountered by philosophers, mathematicians, scientists, theologians, psychologists, and by people from any field of study, or walk of life, no matter their religious, political, or intellectual affiliation or belief. Any curious and thinking person who engages with abstract thought, the material world, or the nature of the cosmos, other people, or any pursuit of the mind inevitably runs up against the limitations of the ability of reason and logic to explain, interact with, and understand the mysteries of the universe. Drawing from Kurt Godel s application of the Paradox of Undecidability in his Incompleteness Theorems (1931) and G.W. Leibniz concept of the 'incompossible , The Destruction of Logic from Within will test the limits of logic to challenge it as the authoritative source of human understanding. In doing so, this new volume will propose the idea that logic can potentially hold within it the ability to surpass its own limitations. The Destruction of Logic from Within will do this by exploring the idea that the internal breakdown of logic as a tool of finite human understanding becomes purposeful for finding greater meaning in an infinite universe. When logic reaches its point of breakdown and internal contradiction, an opportunity arises to seek higher purpose in the awareness of the limitations of human understanding. This, despite many advancements in science and material improvement. The Destruction of Logic from Within sets the tone for its case by telling the story of how spiritual freedom of conscience led to improved well-being for those who sought it out in North America. The book will examine the biblical basis of freedom of conscience, and use the tools of logic and reasoning to put biblical coherence under a microscope. A supplemental Glossary is available at the back of the book for those who might be unfamiliar with some of the terms and concepts the book introduces.
