In From Metaphysics to Decision Making, Alexander Mitjashin argues that the laws of logic should be regarded as a paraphrase of an ontology - an understanding of "being" - whose components are distinct one from another, no matter how similar we may consider them. This approach allows us to remove antinomies without using any axiomatic method. The bases of that ontology are much easier to understand than the ones of symbolic logic and may enable us to introduce optimal societal decision making in the realm of public policy. Since metaphysics implies no choice in general methods of thought, it should exclude skepticism. Using Emmy Noether's theorem of physics, in its simplest and most easily understandable form, we can infer that the problem of skeptical doubts of David Hume's kind are removed.
