The Circular Repetitive Monotony of Philosophical Discourse | |

What is deductive reasoning other than working within an axiomatic system and determining what conclusions follow from some given assumptions? That is precisely it. You are putting the cart before the donkey here... The axioms, in the form of words and grammatical constructs, are merely representations, presented in an agreed-upon format, enabling an analysis via rational processes to take place, which can be shared with others who understand the format (language).
