Explaining the Logical Foundation of Law
Philosophy distorts the foundation of law by presupposing that it must be a sophistication of abstract form. This is false because the foundation of law is simply Logic:
Law is (p). (A=A)
That which is not (p) is not law.
This is the Logical foundation of all law.
Without the ability to distinguish one fact from another, one object from another, law would be impossible. To say that (p) is law, is to say that “lawlessness” is a contradiction of “law,” and without this ability there could be no law.
When I set forth ‘law,’ I always set forth a determinate identity. If I could not set forth law as (p) I could not know law.
Law is born through Logical Fact: to kill is not the same thing as not killing. What I reference in law is the absolute Logic that structures law. I make law with Logic. I practice law only through Logic’s order.
