View submission: Logic has no foundation - except in metaphysics. Hegel explains why.
So what you're saying is that logic can prove itself?

I think it's more that the material conditions necessitate logic, so logic exists.
Like, you want to build a big building you need logistics.

No, I'm saying that logic is inherent to reality and was discovered. As a result it can be tested against events in the world, and is "proven" by the high success rate of predictions that use it as a framework. Logic is a hypothesis that has graduated to the level of theory, in this sense.
It is not a purely intellectual / creative thing that was conjured up in a sensory deprivation chamber and just magically fit the world really well because the dude who came up with it was such an elite hypergenius.
