Good points !

I take this one to be a reference to Godel:

"...Additionally, philosophical thinking backed up by "logic" is always suspect simply because in the beginning of "logical" thinking we always find it is based (necessarily so) upon assumptions....."

I would merely add that a second problem with "logic" is that according to Piaget it is a subsystem of "semantics" appearing only in adulthood.

Obviously, I am neither a Philosopher nor a serious student thereof but I find "The Oxford companion to Philosophy" helpful sometimes in giving me a little insight into specific "isms".

I would also recommend The Oxford Companion to Philosophy as an excellent reference work.
