This is the first edition in Russian dedicated to the work of the famous British philosopher, the logic and mathematician J. Spencer-Brown and, above all, his main work “The Laws of the Form”. His book describes the approach to the archetypal foundations of human experience using mathematical logic, set out in an unusual form and containing excellent examples of sophisticated reasoning, spilling light on the deep origins of our thinking. This book is about the laws of the form: we ourselves, our thoughts, feelings surrounding us nature, artificial human environment and, finally, the Universe itself - all these are forms in the Platonic sense, generated by our feelings and mind. But every form has two sides: internal and external. We can never say with confidence which side of the form we ourselves are, for “there” and “here” have an increasingly less definite meaning than we move away from sensory sensations. The indication calculation apparatus, represented by J. Spencer-Brown, makes it possible at least in simple cases to replace this mysticism with impassive logic, but with such logic, from which it is breathtaking and I want to move on this path. To light the reader with this desire is the mission of this book.
The book is intended for a wide range of readers who are interested in thinking and related discussions in philosophy, logic and mathematics
