The Reliability of Logics in the Perspective of Ancient and Modern Philosophers
Part 2 (A):
THE PHILOSOPHICAL OUTLOOK ABOUT LOGICAL RELIABILITY
The concept of philosophical logic started with the arrival of great philosopher Aristotle and it is the learning of arguments and reasoning. Aristotle’s six main works on logic is named as “Organon” in the Greek terminology. These were the first formal achievement on the subject of logics throughout the human history. In the modern age, modern logicians have proved falsification of some of Aristotle logical concepts. On the contrary the main focus of Aristotle’s logic was to investigate the working dynamics of inferential systems so as to provide a solution for argumentation. The philosophical perspective of different philosophers regarding the credibility of logic differs excessively. Some philosophers were of the idea that logic is gateway to reality while some other argued on this and they just keep logic to human endeavor for finding a truth, some other explained the gap between logic and reality as the flaw of human limitation, while some explained this gap understanding as a function that only God’s domain.
Logic went through different ages, and several modification and up gradation. Different philosophers contributed in this science. Logic developed in every age and now this philosophical science has emerged in various other sciences like computation theories, mathematical solutions, inductions etc.
Logics are not absolutely valid arguments or reasons, perhaps it a way of finding a solution.
Logic is adopted in different meaning by different philosophers; however it arose from the basis of arguments and reasoning. Aristotle and other philosophers like Aquinas supported logic as a way of arguments; the biggest achievement of Aquinas was the proof of existence of God based on Aristotle logic.
