  • It doesn’t quite. A software simply exists in a computer but isn’t real. To be real you have to be limited by the constraints of reality, entropy and expiring progression. We are real like the earth you stand because reality is our plane of existence unlike a software existing in a computer.

    In philosophy what you call "real" is actually classified as ontology (commitment) in an essentialist's way and the difference with "existence" is often conflated with our everyday classic logic but can be further studied and carefully compared in free logic...

  • You’re right this disambiguation attempt could be referred to as an ontological exercise. The concept of free logic is interesting to me. Would you say it to an extent refers to pure philosophy?

    Indeed it could be said to be part of pure philosophy and SEP also has a long article about the same to refer further. Generally speaking logic is a first course and a pre-taste of any serious (pure) philosophy...

  • Logic is the true master in my opinion. We can only tend towards it. Honesty with logic evolves into wisdom.
