The Ultimate Primacy Of Logic

Nothing can be true about scientific laws, human life, the divine mind, moral obligations, or other metaphysical existents like space and time without at least first not contradicting logical axioms, which include the fact that one thing which logically follows from another cannot be false, and that it is impossible for nothing to be true.  For these things to be false, they would have to be true; for instance, it would be impossible for contradictions to be possible because then the laws of logic would have to be false, something that would still entail exclusivity of truths.  Logical axioms are true by necessity, which makes them the intrinsic reality and at the heart of all else.  Nothing else shares or could share this nature.  This means that all things hinge on logic, but in discovering these truths, people need to be careful not to only care about logic as a means of epistemologically exploring other metaphysical things.

It is not this tie to things other than itself that makes logic the central, inherent part of all reality, for this ultimate underpinning of every other truth or possibility follows from the nature of logical axioms.  The importance of logic is self-grounded and does not stem from its pragmatic usefulness or connection to some other issue or existent.  In other words, it is not its relationship to other things that makes logic the supreme existent and infallible epistemological tool.  No, it has those statuses by default, no matter what else exists or is true, though of course anything else must be consistent with or follow from axioms.  It is not that the way logic governs the possiblity, impossibility, and knowability of all else is trivial or not of extreme importance, but that the nature of reason and the importance of this nature are grounded in logic itself and not in God, the universe, or anything else besides it.

It is the relationship of other things to reason that makes them true, possible, and knowable, not the other way around.  Thus, the importance of other things are dictated by their relationship to reason, which could not be any more foundational than it is, having both intrinsic veracity, one aspect/ramification of this being that it is the only thing that cannot not metaphysically exist as something supremely independent of all else, and having everything else depend on it on every level.  It is just that logic is not inherently true, maximally foundational, or otherwise significant just because of how other things relate to it; it is true by necessity that the inverse is the case.

Logic is true by necessity, relied on even by those unaware of it, and dictates the very possibility and necessity of all else.  Nothing could be more fundamental, more important, more deep, or more all-encompassing than this.  First and foremost, reason is the sole inherent, highest part of reality in itself, and it is the only thing that exists without even the possibility of it not existing.  The same is not even true of God, and God is more metaphysically central than the cosmos in all of its vastness, so the universe is even further removed from this sort of primacy.  Even the empty space that would exist in the absence of God or matter only exists because this is logically possible and necessary, with the laws of logic that are even more foundational than this existing in themselves because it is impossible for logical truths to be false.
