    II. Logic and
    Critical Thinking
    a) Logic and Critical Thinking

    Logic – the science and art of correct inferential thinking.


    It studies the rules of reasoning and valid argumentation.
    Reasoning and Logic are oftentimes synonymous.
    Logic requires a person to be reasonable and to be a
    critical thinker.
    a) Logic and Critical Thinking

    Logic, etymologically speaking, comes from the Greek words logike which
    means a treatise pertaining to matters of thought. Hence, we can say that
    logic is an activity of the mind.
    Logic is order and consistency. It is the science of those principles, laws and
    methods which the mind of man must follow in its thinking for the secure
    and accurate attainment of truth. In short, logic is the science and art of
    correct thinking.
    a) Logic and Critical Thinking

    Logic is a science because it is a body of organized methods of tried and true


    knowledge which is concerned with the rectitude of reasoning.
    Logic is an art because argument in logic is done beautifully with habitual
    validity, ease, clarity, correctness, objectivity, and certainty.
    Logic is correct thinking because it conforms to the rules of correctness; in an
    argument, premises have sufficiently grounds as basis for conclusion.
    b) Relevance of Logic and Critical Thinking

    Development of Critical Thinking


    Personal Renewal
    Social Transformation
    Aristotle
    “The high-minded man must
    care more for the truth than
    for what people think.”
