Abstract
Is reality logical and is logic real? Hegel has famously raised this question exactly two centuries ago although his notion of logic was significantly different from the predominant contemporary one at work in the present book. The ancestor of this logic-reality couple, namely the thematic duo mathematics-reality has opened the history of philosophy, as we know it, with Plato and his critics. The next generation has added logic to it. Logic, reality, mathematics—this trio of concepts (and the corresponding items) has also been in the center of discussion on contemporary scene, in epistemology, philosophy of science and metaphysics.
