View submission: Logic has no foundation - except in metaphysics. Hegel explains why.
Did you read the article? It’s arguing in favour of the legitimacy of logic by reference to one of the most definitive modernist thinkers you could get. It takes a Jordan Peterson-esque level of philosophical literacy to assume postmodernism just because someone philosophised about logic
Edit: Also the comment you replied to was downvoted because it’s asserting (just asserting, not with an argument) that logic’s scientific application to physical reality somehow dismisses the broader philosophical matter of justifying logic.

Because the assertion that material reality is the ultimate universal axiom is a wildly held view (and is the basis for the concept of science), and will always supersede any other interpretation in the hierarchy of reality.
So if logic applies to the most fundamental aspects of the only truly objective things in the universe, then it has a foundation, a very solid one at that.
Theory without practice is mere intellectual play, and thinking that logic has no basis in philosophy or human thought, despite both of those things being influenced by metaphysics, is a perfect example of applying theory without considering the actual validity of that application to, well, anyone's life.
