What does "proper logic" mean?
Answers:
Logic is defined as “the science and process of reasoning.” Essentially, logic allows us to analyze an argument (or a piece of reasoning) and work out whether it is likely to be correct or not. There are two types of reasoning skills that are important for using and applying proper logic. They are:
♦Deductive Reasoning: The process of starting with a general statement and arriving at a specific conclusion. A valid example would be, “All men are mortal. Socrates is a man. Therefore Socrates is mortal.” An invalid example would be, “Every criminal opposes the government. Everyone in the opposition party opposes the government. Therefore everyone in the opposition party is a criminal.”
♦Inductive Reasoning: The process of starting with a specific statement and arriving at a general conclusion. This does not stand on the same footing as deductive because the conclusion may change as new information is gained. An example would be, “All of the planets we have observed in the universe revolve around a star; therefore, to discover more planets we should begin by locating other stars.”
In the daily language "proper logic" is usually used as the "logical deduction" in a situation after analyzing the given data and circumstances.
Hope this answers your question.
My guess would be:
If A equals C
And B equals C
Then A equals B
traditional logic
