Re: The Failure Of Logic
Oh, okay. I'm all for trying to persuade people not to get hung up on magic bullets.
One thing that may be effective is to clearly call attention to the fact that logic does not have a moral component and in that sense has a much more limited use when it comes to moral arguments than people assume.
Logic (IMHO) is simply a very useful tool that allows us (human beings) to tackle many difficult and not so difficult problems. Note that it is a very useful tool and in that sense I would say valuable, however, logic alone does not entail any *rich* meaning or significance (such as living a Good life or being moral).
Anyway, carry on.
