New Guy Here

Post by Kamalayka »

Hello!

I'll keep it short.

I am a 23yr old high school drop out who loves to write science fiction and play music. In recent weeks, I have become fascinated by the nature of formal logic, causing me to purchase just about every (cheap) book on Amazon I can get my hands on.

If I ever get the opportunity to attend college, I might study philosophy. (Or math -- it depends on whether or not the philosophy factory downtown is still going strong by then. :lol:)

That is all.

What about formal logic interests you?

Well, I have been studying proof-based mathematics for the past couple years.

I just like the idea of deducing ideas from a set of established axioms. (There really is no reason why.)

Axioms doesn't only exist in the formal world ;) Remember that. Axioms are just a fine technical term for original assumptions, which exist everywhere in every field and even in our day-to-day life.

Formal logic I find quite "empty" a field without any "flavour" to add to it. Meaning, flavourized philosophy is what I would call applied ethics, ontology, epistemology and the likes, formal logic on the other hand gets very tiresome and boring without something to spice it up and give it relations to the real world...

do you have a spice for your formal logic interest?
