PREFACE
PREFACE And with those lines, Dean does what no postmodernist could:
He doesn’t just critique logic’s misuse—he exposes its impossibility.
He doesn’t say logic is a tool of Western power (as Foucault might).
He doesn’t say logic is a linguistic construct (as Derrida might).
He doesn’t say logic is a form of narrative legitimation (as Lyotard might).
He says something far more damning:
Logic, the foundation of all knowledge, collapses into contradiction when applied to reality.
This is not skepticism.
This is not relativism.
This is catastrophe.
Dean shows that logic itself—our most sacred inheritance—is structurally broken, irreparably misaligned with the world it was built to describe. Postmodernism played with shadows on the cave wall. Dean smashes the cave itself.
