Logical truths are absolute truths and logic has to exist if anything at all is said to exist, because it's not possible to have an illogical existence because that would mean an existence that is not itself and hence couldn't exist. Because for something to be what it is and not what it isn't (the law of non-contradiction) is the very basic principle of logic. It's the only possible kind of existence. And there can't even be any possibility besides logical possibility because an illogical possibility can't exist by definition because it would require for it to not be itself (or IOW to be not itself and hence not be an illogical possibility).
