About this ebook
A brief preface describes the nature of logic, mentions some background information from previous works, and suggests that the logic as explained is simpler. Chapter 1 deals with logical states: states, relationships and transients. It describes their attributes. States are things; relationships speaks for itself and relates states to each other; transience is the process of thinking and predicate to those states called events. Chapter 2 discusses the nature of states as eternal. It discusses axioms and the nature of universals that are needed to define states of existence. Much of this comes from previous works of mine. Chapter 3 briefly mentions that probability is not a true math but is a valid predicate for logic when its assumptive nature is understood. Chapter 4 discusses time that relates to immanence in contradistinction to time. It deals with 'a priori' and 'a posteriori' conceptions of the basis of reason and logic. It is noted that time and eternity must coexist, that treating logic as 'a priori' knowledge is pointless since eternal truth is immanent in existence, an existence that includes nature, the brain and the mind as treated separate from nature or not. Chapter 5 discusses the method of logic by using an equation and a syllogism. The nature of reason is again touched on as was previously done in the preceding chapter. Chapter 6 summarizes the conclusions: of a three step process of logic. It notes that there are problems with logic, that treating life in a Sisyphean manner will not help the matter, that this attitude is Sisyphean in itself and so pointless.

I write for my health and the health of the world. Often the cure rivals the disease in grief and aches. My writing career started at twelve when I attempted to write a sequel to Huckleberry Finn but never finished it. My writings have included poetry, plays, a novel, non-fiction and writing newsletters for here and there. Recently, I am dabbling into short stories. Apart from newsletters, nothing has been published in print. I bought an audio recording of one of my poems but threw it away in disgust due to an inappropriate reading by the narrator. 'Contra Pantheism...' was my first eBook. About a hundred eBooks have been published since including some books of verse, and my essays collected into five volumes, and one volume of collected poems. A few other types of literature are on my list of published works. My essays deal with fundamental questions of philosophy as well as natural philosophy (science.) On the whole, my works are as far above the writings of Plato and Aristotle as the material power of the United States is over that of Ancient Greece. I once asked myself if I had ever written anything memorable, but couldn't remember exactly what I had written. I started to check my manuscripts but stopped as it seemed the answer to the question was obvious. Gore Vidal mentioned in one of his memoirs that writers tend to forget what they write and are a bad source to ask about their works. Gore knew a lot of writers. I have not and may have been a bit hard on myself. Apart from self-improvement and maybe making a few bucks, my main goal is to bring about a golden age for mankind. Being a man, this sounds appealing. It is pointless to desist and all small measures are worth the effort. Albert Camus thought suicide the only serious philosophical question. He was a fool and died young. Suicide is a waste of time. The most important functional question is: How do I get what I want? The one question that trumps this is the ultimate question of intent: What should I want? As Goethe pointed out: Be careful what you wish for in your youth, you might get it in middle age.
