I'm not sure that I like "point of view" even for a logic kept in its proper
place; it suggests that logic belongs in the same general bag of things as
perception and perspective, whereas I think it's rather orthogonal to them.
One's "standpoint" and one's logical "mode" needn't have any necessary
connection with each other, although they might very well get tangled up at
the level of autobiography.
