Are they?  Hmmm.  It depends on context. 

”The problem lies in the fact that Western intellectual history has been intent upon creating an understanding that is founded upon universal laws, and, in order to create such universal laws, we have attempted to eliminate all objects of thought to which such laws do not universal apply.  This, however, is irrational since there obviously are dynamic and holistic objects of thought to which the laws of thought do not universally apply."

It's the article pointed to in the External Links section of < http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laws_of_thought  > .  You can retrieve it from the bottom of the 'printable version'.   I recommend the full article.
