What is the logic behind in picking logic?


Day 5

“Number 2 comes after Number 1, and that is a logical statement.” This is an interesting fact; there are things that are taken into consideration because it is a logically accepted fact. I always wondered one question

What is the logic behind in picking logic?

Is the concept of logic something that works for a group of people or Is it universal?. What is the process in establishing a new logic into the system? Does all logic work the same for all the people, or does the concept of logic changes based on what is true for the person?

According to Oxford dictionary, the definition of logic will incorporate “reasoning conducted or assessed according to strict principles of validity: experience is a better guide to this than deductive logic (Oxford Dictionaries Online, 2012).”

Now this is an interesting fact, reasoning conducted or assessment, but now that will depend on your educational, experience, IQ background. Are the principles of validity uniform or universal? What about cultures and their influence of logics? So technically a logically statement for one person may not be the logically statement for the other.

What are the guidelines of establishing a new logic? I guess to establish a new logic one must follow the path of “thinking outside the box.” What is really thinking outside the box, make an assumption of what is logic is false? What is the correlation with logic and era for example Aristotle logics, Plato logics, Newton logics, and many more. So the concept of logic has been evolving as the human race is evolving?

For a new logic ignore all the validity of the current logics.
