Logical proposition as a tool for reality understanding and transformation

Abstract

A reflection on the importance of formal logic, and logic proposition in the understanding of reality is performed. It is supported the idea that the proposition is a fundamental element in logic figuration, in understanding process and reality transformation; in order to that proposal a distinction of terms used in the field of formal logic is realized, an explanation of relationship between logical thought and language is made, brief features about structure of propositions and relationship between names, sense and meaning are explained, importance of the proposition in reality understanding is argued and if there are limits for what can be though or represented in logical propositions. This work´s guidelines are mainly based on the principles arising from the line of thought known as logical empiricism. It is sought to give a response to the questions: Is it necessary for logic to focus its attention on language in order to understand reality? Which roll does proposition have on reality abstraction process? Has proposition, besides allowing understanding of reality, a fundamental roll on reality’s transformation? For that purpose an analytic methodology is used. There are obtained elements which help to understand proposition’s value in the human reality understanding form –mental reality construction or figuration–, communicates what is understood –through language– and builds new realities – environmental
creation and modification.
