ReplyDeleteDutch gal was correct to distinguish logical hylomorphism from the metaphysical sort, ie essencia, forms, substances, "potencia," spooks,etc.
The pragmatists critique still has some merit--context will often determine whether the form of the argument (ie, validity), or the matter (ie, confirming premises) has greater significance, or something. Logicians, at least the few remaining, may call them premises; a few doors down, the economists and sociologists call it data.
Validity and proofs may impress like Steinford U geeks, but mere mortals tend to prefer like, well, does it work/fly/download files faster/get you stoned, etc. Im against pure instrumentalism/applicability if you will (normativity creeps in usually), but pure formality--ie, the Fregean/Russellian school- is another type of intellectual sin . Or something. Might as well work out chess combinations as the old proofs, IMHE
