1. The science or art of exact reasoning, or of
pure and formal thought, or of the laws according to which the
processes of pure thinking should be conducted; the science of the
formation and application of general notions; the science of
generalization, judgment, classification, reasoning, and systematic
arrangement; correct reasoning.
Logic is the science of the laws of thought, as
thought; that is, of the necessary conditions to which thought,
considered in itself, is subject. Sir W.
Hamilton.
&fist; Logic is distinguished as pure and
applied. "Pure logic is a science of the form, or of
the formal laws, of thinking, and not of the matter. Applied
logic teaches the application of the forms of thinking to those
objects about which men do think." Abp. Thomson.
2. A treatise on logic; as, Mill's
Logic.
- Webster's Unabridged Dictionary (1913)
LOGIC, n. The art of thinking and reasoning in strict accordance with
the limitations and incapacities of the human misunderstanding. The
basic of logic is the syllogism, consisting of a major and a minor
premise and a conclusion -- thus:
Major Premise: Sixty men can do a piece of work sixty times as
quickly as one man.
Minor Premise: One man can dig a posthole in sixty seconds;
therefore --
Conclusion: Sixty men can dig a posthole in one second.
This may be called the syllogism arithmetical, in which, by
combining logic and mathematics, we obtain a double certainty and are
twice blessed.
