Quote of the Day: on non-binary logic

[timelets]

“The more the ordinary mind takes the opposition between true and false to be fixed, the more is it accustomed to expect either agreement or contradiction with a given philosophical system, and only to see the one or the other in any explanation about such a system. It does not conceive the diversity of philosophical systems as the progressive evolution of truth; rather, it sees only contradiction in that variety.”

Hegel, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich, 1770-1831. “The phenomenology of mind.”
