Incommensurability Between Hannibal And Layman

Incommensurability between propositional logic’s use of abstraction and the layman’s attachment to notions of pride and sentimental attachment have always existed and continue to do so into the modern era. In some instances, this can be beneficial, as it forces logicians to look at the real world implications of their work and find disparities between their operators and the actualities of the world. However, there are times when the opponents of abstraction are not merely pointing out its issues, but fail to comprehend how any individual could take out the emotional aspects of the world, as abstraction does. This leads to an immense issue of incommensurability. This sort of thinking has occurred throughout history and continues into the modern
Developed by Quintus Fabius Maximus, a Roman patrician whose upbringing would have undoubtedly included formal instruction in Aristotle’s works, the strategy was essentially a propositional logic proof. Fabius realized that, if Hannibal were to cross the Alps in winter, as he did, then Hannibal’s army would not have supplies. If Hannibal’s army did not have supplies, then he would either get supplies from nearby towns or he would go malnourished. Hannibal’s army would not be able to get supplies from nearby towns if and only if the supplies in those towns were destroyed. If Hannibal’s army went malnourished, then they would not be able to fight against Rome any longer. Therefore, Fabius concluded that if the supplies in nearby towns were destroyed, then Hannibal’s army would not be able to fight. Translated into propositional argument, the Fabian strategy would look
Yet, the incommensurability between Fabius’s logic and the Roman public’s sentimental attachments to their homes, pride, and wealth resulted in casualties that tallied at nearly 300,000 by the end of the war and among the dead were some of their greatest military commanders. While in this example, the incommensurability seems to be the fault of the non-logicians, as refusing to follow Fabius’s logic ended poorly for the Roman Republic, this is not always the case. There are times where incommensurability between propositional logic and those struggling to comprehend abstraction does not end so
