Logic: Science of
reasoning. Here is a fairly
rapid and clear - I hope - introduction to standard logic using lemmas in the
Philosophical Dictionary:
There is very much more to logic. One set-back for those interested in it
qua
science of
reasoning - such as psychologists, lawyers,
philosophers - is that much of modern logic looks mathematical, and
considerable parts are quite technical. This mostly cannot be
helped, in as much as mathematical notations and/or mathematical methods are
extra-ordinarily helpful, if only to abbreviate in a clear way patterns and
schemas of reasoning that would be difficult to treat as clearly, precisely
and fully in other ways. And the basics of
Propositional Logic,
First Order Logic, and
Set Theory should be known to anyone with
a serious intererst in philosophy (or mathematics or indeed science). |
