Four principles of Logic:
1)Principle of Identity-- Tell what it is
2) Excluded Middle--It exists or doesn't exist. The lamp is on the desk or it isn't.
3)There is sufficient reason for everything.-Larry's mother and father are the cause of his very existence.
4) The Principle of contradiction.- He is physically in New York even though his thoughts are in Washington but he is not in both places at the same time.

I don't know what this author believes but I'm rereading this in detail just because it's on my shelf I need to understand this book independent of his other writings.
Logic and language are inseparable. Logic is about reality. Logic is about truth.
A) We must pay attention are alternate expressions. B)Get our facts straight. Facts can be Events or Things (C) Be mindful of the origin of ideas..
