Do you believe that the concept of Existence is illogical or logical?

Question

Do you believe:

Existence is logical (Nonexistence is illogical) or

Existence is illogical (Nonexistence is logical)

Answer 1

I answer this question therefore I exist.

Answer 2

Existence is the only one.  It has nothing to do with logic, it is a matter of fact.  Nonexistence is not 'able' to exists as it is not there, and is definitely not the opposite of existence.  How can your desk become a non-desk, or your arm a non-arm. Even if they amputate it, and perishes, it will still be your arm.

Peace.

Answer 3

i do believe this question is illogical

we need good concept(something like formal system) to ask good questions, which we understand...because our langueage is full of illusions whithout exact meaning...

good foundations means notation we understand

"we are here together, so begin. Goethe, Faust"

Answer 4

well, in my opinion, everything is logical.  existence sounds weird and maybe unlogical because us humans haven't yet found a way to explain.  for example:  before when people first saw Harry's comet, they thought it was an evil spirit and such crazy things.  Why?  Because they don't understand it.  After few years of research done my astronomers they found the reason for a "comet"  to appear, people don't seem to be so scared of it anymore.  people started to think that a comet flying in the sky is logical.  So what I want to say is that existence is logical, we just need to find to reason why their is existence.  us humans only understand a tiny part about the world, the universe we live in.  that all there is about it.  just like how they say: everything has a meaning, if only we could know how to read it.

Answer 5

You must be in a philosophy class.

People can put anything, why didn't you ask them to tell you "why"?

Existence is logical based on the fact of God's plan in creating us.

We will always exist, it's just a matter of WHERE we will exist after we pass from this world. (Heaven or h**l)

Answer 6

Existence is fact.

The ability to question your existence is logic in itself that you exist.

Answer 7

existence is not a concept- this a category mistake

We get some pretty dumb questions in this section I must say

Answer 8

There is nothing religious about this question.  existence is one of the first topics ever discussed by philosophers.  If you were alone on this world the question would be reasonable, but 6 billion humans confirm the existence of 6 billion humans, as far as anything is considered, we exist.

Answer 9

"Existence *is* perception and cannot be proven without the concept of faith," is false.

"Centuries ago, the man who was—no matter what his errors—the greatest of your philosophers, [Aristotle] stated the formula defining the concept of existence and the rule of all knowledge: A is A. A thing is itself. You have never grasped the meaning of his statement. I am here to complete it: Existence is Identity, Consciousness is Identification."

John Galt's Speech; Ayn Rand

"Existence is a self-sufficient primary. It is not a product of a supernatural dimension, or of anything else. There is nothing antecedent to existence, nothing apart from it—and no alternative to it. Existence exists—and only existence exists. Its existence and its nature are irreducible and unalterable."

Leonard Peikoff “The Analytic-Synthetic Dichotomy,”

Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology, 148

This means that "non-existence" is not the default position. "Non-existence" would have to be an existent for that to be true. Since "non-existence" cannot be a reified existent, the opposite must necessarily be true: that existence is the default position.

Existence defines everything that ever existed (which cannot be non-existents), all that exists now, and all that ever will exist. Existence cannot cease to exist in logic without admitting that when it disappears, "non-existence" then becomes the only thing in existence, an obvious contradiction of "Identity."
