greater than another. 
All this sounds like an absurdity from the point of view of the mathematics of finite 
and constant numbers. But the very mathematics of finite and constant numbers is a 
calculation of relationships among non-existent magnitudes, i.e. an absurdity. 
Therefore, only that which seems an absurdity from the point of view of this 
mathematics can be the truth. 
Logic goes through the same process. It has to renounce itself, arrive at the necessity 
of its own annihilation - and then a new and higher logic may arise from it. 
In his 
Critique of Pure Reason
Kant proved the possibility of a 
transcendental logic. 
Before Bacon and before Aristotle, in ancient Indian scriptures there were given 
formulae of that higher logic which unlocked the doors of the mysteries. But the 
meaning of these formulae was soon lost. They were preserved in ancient books, but 
only as some strange mummies of extinct thought, words without real content. 
New thinkers again re-discovered these principles, expressed them in new words. 
But again they remained not understood, again they turned into some useless verbal 
ornament. But the 
idea continued. 
Belief was never lost in the possibility of finding and 
establishing the laws of the higher world. Mystical philosophy never regarded 
Aristotelean logic as all embracing or omnipotent. It built its systems 
outside logic
or 
above logic, unconsciously, following the lines of thought laid down in the deepest 
antiquity. 
Higher logic existed before 
deductive
and 
inductive
logic was ever formulated. 
Higher logic may be called 
intuitive 
logic, the logic of infinity, the logic of ecstasy. 
This logic is not only possible, but 
it exists, 
and has existed from time immemorial; 
it was formulated many times; it entered as a key 


into philosophical systems - but in some strange way it was 
not recognized
as 
LOGIC

The system of this logic can be deduced from a great many 
philosophical
systems. I 
find the most exact and the fullest formulation of this logic in Plotinus, in his treatise 
'On Intelligible Beauty'. I shall quote this passage in the following chapter. 
I have called the system of higher logic '
TERTIUM ORGANUM
', because 
for us
it is the 
third instrument
or the third law of thought after Aristotle and Bacon. The first was 
ORGANON
, the second 
NOVUM ORGANUM
. But the third existed before the first. 
A man possessing this key can open the doors of the 
world of causes 
without fear. 
The axioms which 
Tertium Organum
contains cannot be formulated in our language. 
But if we still try to formulate them, they will produce the impression of absurdities. 
Taking the axioms of Aristotle as a model, we may express the principal axiom of the 
new logic in our poor earthly language in the following way: 
A is both A and not A, 
or 
Every thing is both A and not A, or 
Every thing is All. 
But in fact these formulae are completely impossible. And they are not 
axioms of 
higher logic; 
they are merely attempts to express the axioms of this logic in concepts. 
In reality the ideas of higher logic are 
inexpressible
in concepts. And when we come up 
against this in-expressibility, it means that we have come into contact with the world of 
causes. 
The logical formula 
A is both A and not A
corresponds to the mathematical formula:
