<p>50.136.111.48: </p> <hr /> <div>Hello, <br /> <br /> Recently I created an artcle &quot;Polylogism&quot; in Russian Wikipedia, and I would like to broaden it by giving some information of how this idea worked in the USSR (perhaps, you know, that there were persecutions on &quot;formal logic&quot; in the USSR), but I understood unexpectedly that I can't find any mentionings of this in the books by Mises. Can anybody help me? I need a reference where Mises or his followers discuss (or mention) this problem.<br /> <br /> Thank you in advance. [[User:Eozhik|Eozhik]] ([[User talk:Eozhik|talk]]) 10:35, 31 October 2013 (MSK)<br /> :Most notably, Marxian polylogism is discussed in ''[[Human Action]]''. http://mises.org/humanaction/chap3sec2.asp [[User:Nathan Larson|Nathan Larson]] ([[User talk:Nathan Larson|talk]]) 10:55, 31 October 2013 (MSK)<br /> <br /> :: Thank you, Nathan for your prompt reply! Yes, I have this book, but it is strange for me that Mises does not mention in this connection the Hegelian dialectics and its role in persecutions of what marxists called &quot;formal&quot; logic. (I hope, you know that in the USSR the usual logic was called &quot;old-fashioned&quot;, &quot;metaphysical&quot;, and it was difficult to protect it, even mathematical logic was considered as suspicios, &quot;non-proletarian&quot;). Or I missed something? [[User:Eozhik|Eozhik]] ([[User talk:Eozhik|talk]]) 11:15, 31 October 2013 (MSK)<br /> :: Just in case, if you happen to speak Russian, you can take a look at the paper by V.A.Bazhanov, where he describes this: http://iph.ras.ru/uplfile/logic/log12/Li_12_bajanov.pdf [[User:Eozhik|Eozhik]] ([[User talk:Eozhik|talk]]) 11:20, 31 October 2013 (MSK)<br /> <br /> We need a better Refutation section, or we need to remove it. The current one as written will be a stumbling block to inquiring visitors, since it makes it seems like rational self-interest is the *only* way that people ever behave. Or, if we want to assert this, we should provide counterarguments/explanations to refute the obvious counterexamples people are going to raise. -- anonymous poster who doesn't know the proper way to edit this discussion page (sorry)<br /> <br /> Also, the Basic Refutation section needs attention from someone versed in formal logic, to make it read like a formal argument.</div>
