Allogical
Definition
Being outside the realm of logic, not utilizing the formal criteria or rules of rational reasoning; foreign to standard logical structures, yet without necessarily being absurd or contradictory (antilogic). In philosophy, it defines pure intuitions or deep affective states that escape rigorous conceptual analysis and cannot be explained through mathematical syllogisms.
