Logic

Question

If I understood correctly, any claim about the world cannot create a logical impossibility, only a physical one—like the two-sided Tablets, the place of the Ark not taking up space, and so on—so is logic only theoretical? Do we always need to check whether the world also operates according to it? And maybe that is what those who say that no impossibility exists within the bosom of the Creator mean: that there is no such thing as anything absolute, or absolute assumptions in the world. That is, there is no such thing as a rider, and therefore there would also be a non-rider—as if to say that no impossibility exists within nature, because it simply does not necessarily operate according to logic.

Answer

There are impossibilities in the world too. Like Berkeley College’s square-round dome (Quine’s example). But when a logical impossibility is created, one has to examine the model we applied to the world. The problem is not with logic but with its application to the world.
