The belief that formal logical systems are the fundamental substrate of reality, and that logical consistency is the primary criterion for truth. If something is logically coherent, it is considered real or valid, even in defiance of empirical evidence. It’s logic as ontology.
Neologicalism Example: A person arguing that because the concept of a “perfect being” is logically coherent (in their view), such a being must therefore exist. They prioritize the airtight nature of their syllogism over the lack of any observable evidence, making logic the creator of facts.
