 | | Logic is the study of argument — not angry disagreements or fisticuffs, but instead the giving of reasons to believe things. |
 | | College logic is a contemporary name for logic presented as a pedagogic subject, in a tradition that goes back two millennia. |
 | | As it is studied in a traditional first logic course in college (based on traditional logic), logic is the study of (1) argument form, (2) the qualities (of arguments) of validity, cogency, and soundness, and (3) how to construct, identify, interpret, and evaluate various kinds of arguments. |
