Necessary Logic
Question
Could there be a world in which the laws of logic do not exist? For example, where 1 plus 1 equals 3?
Answer
It definitely could be. And it also couldn’t be. And both as well.
Seriously though, talking about something outside logic is nonsense.
Discussion on Answer
No. Unless you define all sorts of other forms of thinking as “our logic.” What is usually called logic is binding in every domain. No domain can contain contradictions, and in my opinion it does not even depart from the law of the excluded middle.
Doesn’t modern physics say things that are outside our logic?
