The Aristotelian 'Law of the Excluded Third' rests on the deeper Law of Identity ("A=A&quot . A presupposition and axiom dearly held by most of Western logical schools.

In English syntax it is very difficult to "give rest" to the "dualistic" distinction between subject and object, in other languages that distinction is not always necessary, in my language (Finnish) a verb without subject and object can be a full sentence. I've also tried E-prime, it makes some sense in English and practicing the letting go of the Law of Identity, but in my native language my experiments with E-prime have produced worst kind of post-modern clumsy gibberish, while the non-personal registers of my language flow naturally, also in the word for be ('ollaan'), which takes quite different meaning from the English "essentialism".
