Logic
Logic is the study of correct reasoning. It includes both formal and informal logic. Formal logic is the study of deductively valid inferences or logical truths. It examines how conclusions follow from premises based on the structure of arguments alone, independent of their topic and content. Informal logic is associated with informal fallacies, critical thinking, and argumentation theory. Informa
"But in this age, logic was a flame that must be frequently starved of fuel."
"To find themselves utterly alone at night where company is desirable and expected makes some people fearful; but a case more trying by far to the nerves is to discover some mysterious companionship when intuition, sensation, memory, analogy, testimony, probability, induction — every kind of evidence in the logicians list — have united to persuade consciousness that it is quite in isolation."
"Logic hasnt wholly dispelled the society of witches and prophets and sorcerers and soothsayers."
"Able logicians have a trick of being unutterably wrong when they come to write about life: the instinctive, intuitive sense of human values often fails them quite. Logic is more likely to make a man a fool than the lack of logic is."
"Pure logic is the ruin of the spirit."
"No, no, youre not thinking; youre just being logical."
