This is an interesting thread Niin.
People talk about being logical all the time. And we know that many people act "illogically".
I think you made a good point on values. But you need to define those values a little more clearly.
What if I said something like "Trees are Big" ?
Mathematic logic is simpler. If A + B = C, then C = B + A.
as for Logical arguement, it needs a structure.
premise &
conclusion
and the two types of logical arguement
deductive
Inductive
For logic to be
valid, all the premises are true, and hence its conclusion is true.
Trees are Big. Yes, trees are big. But , not all trees are big.
= Not good logic. Lower "value" in your definition...
I have a little more, but I'll see what everyone thinks about this so far.
Does it sound Logical??
