No, even mathematics is based on assumptions that certain things are true.

Take geometry for example, if you remove the assumption that internal angles sum to 180 degrees you are lead to a number of geometries, one of which is the standard euclidean geometry.

Even 'simple logic' is just a set of rules. These are not 'true' in any sense, but to define something as logical means that these rules must have been followed.
