Message Subject Is Logic a Belief?
Poster Handle 4Q529
Post Content
Logic is a way of thinking, but it isn't a belief, more like a skill, to be able to think logically.
 Quoting: K.Kool


Again, like a practical tool/skill.

I suppose I don't believe in a hammer or my ability to use one. or do i?

Logic is a tool of consciousness.

It is useful in science and in dealing with many aspects of the real world.

But it is of no particular use in dealing with women, for example.

Not a criticism or condemnation, merely a statement of fact. Many women are even honest enough with themselves to acknowledge that logic is not their "major suit". They deal primarily on the basis of feelings.

So, what needs to be done is for a person to stand back and approach each situation from the perspective of choosing the right tool in order to understand that situation.

When you listen to the words of a love song, you are not interested in the logic. You are interested in the accuracy of the images and the words in describing an experience beyond logic.

Those very same images and words are of no use in determining the logical truth of a statement in science.
