	Logic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The ambiguity is that "formal logic" is very often used with the alternate meaning of symbolic logic as we have defined it, with informal logic meaning any logical investigation that does not involve symbolic abstraction; it is this sense of 'formal' that is parallel to the received usages coming from "formal languages" or "formal theory".
		Aristotelian logic has principally been concerned with teaching good argument, and is still taught with that end today, while in mathematical logic and analytical philosophy much greater emphasis is placed on logic as an object of study in its own right, and so logic is studied at a more abstract level.
		The boldest attempt to apply logic to mathematics was undoubtedly the logicism pioneered by philosopher-logicians such as Gottlob Frege and Bertrand Russell: the idea was that mathematical theories were logical tautologies, and the programme was to show this by means to a reduction of mathematics to logic.

		Formal logic (sometimes called "symbolic logic") attempts to capture the nature of logical truth and inference in formal systems, which consist of a formal language, a set of rules of derivation (often called "rules of inference"), and sometimes a set of axioms.
		For instance, propositional logic and predicate logic are a kind of formal logic, as well as temporal logic, modal logic, Hoare logic, the calculus of constructions, etc. Higher order logics are logical systems based on a hierarchy of types.
		Informal logic is also more difficult because the semantics of natural language assertions is much more complicated than the semantics of formal logical systems, due to the presence of such phenomena as defeasibility.

		That is to say, in the role of logical subject its function is to denominate an individual or to refer to an individual and as logical predicate its function is to indicate what belongs or does not belong to an individual.
		The objects of the logic of classes as well as of the predicate logic were constructed by taking out only one function -- and abstracted from the other functions -- of general terms.
		With the emergence of modern logic, that is with the appearance of the Frege-Russell type of so-called classical symbolic logic a great advance undoubtedly was made in the logic whose objects are special kinds of abstract objects.

		For example, Newtonian mechanics (NM) is a theory of classical logic and it makes certain a certain prediction regarding the advance of the perihelion of Mercury; this prediction is contradicted by Einstein's general relativity theory, which also uses classical logic for its predictions.
		Thus if our logic insists on Aristotle's law of the excluded middle (every proposition must be either true or false) and the law of non-contradiction (no proposition can be both true and false), then the inference rules that use these laws would make the logic classical.
		The classical interpretation or Aristotelian logic corresponds to a philosophy called Platonism, namely that every proposition is either true or false in some Platonic world, independent of the human mind.

		During the rise of modern formal logic following Frege and Peirce, adherents of Traditional Logic (seen as the descendant of Aristotelian Logic) and the new mathematical logic tended to see one another as rivals, with incompatible notions of logic.
		The rise of modern formal logic following the work of Frege and Russell brought with it a recognition of the many serious limitations of Aristotle's logic; today, very few would try to maintain that it is adequate as a basis for understanding science, mathematics, or even everyday reasoning.
		Modern modal logic treats necessity and possibility as interdefinable: "necessarily P" is equivalent to "not possibly not P", and "possibly P" to "not necessarily not P".

		The resolution to the entire mystery so long inherent in these axioms of logic now stands simply revealed: Whether one of Aristotle's laws holds or its negation holds is determined solely by the nature of the logical operation in time interval three.
		Hence the logic operation is hyperdimensionally a function of mind and injects mind/time into the statement.
