LOGIC

Mr. Nico B. Candelario


WHAT IS LOGIC?
Is it something important to me?
Is it applicable to my daily life?
So, what is the business of logic?
WHAT IS LOGIC?
LOGIC is an art and a
science of correct and valid
and true reasoning.
LOGIC AS AN ART
Why logic is an art?
What is art, anyway?


LOGIC AS AN ART
Art is a skill.
When a skill is developed,
it becomes a habit.
Habit manages
things, thus, it
facilitates.

LOGIC AS AN ART

facilitates reasoning.

LOGIC AS A SCIENCE
Why logic is a science?
What is science?
LOGIC AS A SCIENCE
Science is
a body of knowledge.
But what kind of body
of knowledge?
LOGIC AS A SCIENCE
Science is
a systematized body of
knowledge.

LOGIC AS A SCIENCE
When something is
systematized,
it must be organized.
LOGIC AS A SCIENCE
...organizes reasoning.
CORRECT AND VALID REASONING
Logic as a study of correct and
valid reasoning, we are talking
about the form of arguments.
Using the form, we test the validity
of arguments.
This is what we study in formal logic.
TRUE REASONING
Logic as a study of true reasoning, we
are talking about the content of
arguments.
Here, we determine the truth and falsity
of an argument.
This is the concern of material logic, a
discipline related to epistemology
and critereology.

DIVISIONS OF LOGIC

thing/being. There is no
affirmation or denial.
SIMPLE APPREHENSION
Dematerialization:

2. Mathematics
3. Metaphysics
SIMPLE APPREHENSION
Internal Sign of SA
idea/concept (abstract)
External Sign of SA term (can
be a cypher or a code, symbol

SIMPLE APPREHENSION
Predicability:
capacity of terms/concepts

JUDGMENT
Mind affirms/denies the
unity/connection of two or more
ideas/concepts/terms.
It is affirmative, if mind joins two or
more ideas.
It is negative, if mind separates
two or more ideas.
REASONING
It is when mind passes from one
judgment (premise1) to another
judgment (premise2), and arrives
with a new judgment (conclusion).
Simply put, it is a comparison
