World Logic Day
Happy #WorldLogicDay ! Logic can be as simple or as complicated as you wish or need it to be. There are many different forms of logic, they don't all look like some type of mathematical calculation nor should it be approached as though it were a branch of maths. It can be a useful tool for a range of academic subjects, from science to humanities. However, it is a fundamental, distinctive part of all philosophy, not some separate, non-philosophical subject as some see it e.g. those who refer to themselves as logicians not philosophers, despite being in a philosophy department π€π€· You rarely see it in papers or books in the History of Philosophy, nevertheless I do use it in my History of Philosophy papers and books in order to clarify my argument. But I always explain the logic symbols in plain English so anyone can understand them! ππͺ
