ABSTRACT: The overall frame of the study is determined by
applying a not-well-known solution of the
problem of logical bridging the notorious
gap between statements of being and statements of value to philosophical
grounds of thermodynamics. The main hitherto not published significantly new
nontrivial result presented in this article is a formal logical inference of a proper physical law of thermodynamics in
logically-formalized-theory-Sigma from conjunction
of a formal-axiological analog of that physical law in algebra of formal
axiology and the assumption of a-priori-ness of knowledge. All the necessary
means for constructing the mentioned formal logical inference, namely, a
two-valued algebraic system of metaphysics as formal axiology, and a logically formalized axiomatic
epistemology system called Sigma are defined precisely.
