  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".
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.
Again, relevance logic and dialetheism are the most important approaches here, though the concerns are different: the key issue that classical logic and some of its rivals, such as intuitionistic logic have is that they respect the principle of explosion, which means that the logic collapses if it is capable of deriving a contradiction.

 Brazilian logic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brazilian logic is the dual of intuitionistic logic, where you drop the law of excluded middle (i.e.
Intuitionistic logic is modeled by open sets in a topological space: and stands for intersection, or for union, and not for the interior of the complement.
In intuitionistic logic a slight gap (at the boundary) between A and ¬A is allowed, whereas in Brazilian logic a slight overlap is allowed.

 The Nature and Necessity of Logic
While the depreciations or denunciations of logic vary in the range of topics that are allegedly exempt from logic, or the intensity in which logic is down-played or simply denied, the above individuals have in common the concept of limiting the applicability, extent, or scope of the jurisdiction of logic/reason.
Otherwise the statement could or would be both true and not true or applicable and not applicable at the same time and in the same sense, since it would no longer be true that statements cannot be both true and not true (false) in the same time and sense.
To deny logic or say that it is false or not true or applicable to a certain topic entails the use of logic in the very assertion itself (thus, it is true or applicable).

 20th WCP: Haack On Fuzzy Logic
Thus she sharply distinguishes between a logic dealing with fuzzy concepts (she accepts), and one which is itself fuzzy, i.e., where "true" and "false" cease to be precise concepts (she rejects).
But she claims that if fuzzy logic were reconstrued as merely a partially formalized description of the mental processes by means of which human operators adjust air-conditioners, gas flames, brakes and the like, then it would have some connection with fuzzy technology, but would be no threat to classical logic.
The very radical character of fuzzy logic results from the second stage of fuzzification, and the rationale for the second stage of fuzzification is that the metalanguage predicates "true" and "false" are fuzzy.

 Philosophy 160 (002): Formal Logic
Logic, as a subject, is concerned with a family of related notions.
Nevertheless, deductive soundness is not a purely logical property, since the truth of the premises is (for the most part) not a matter of logic.
Note that deductive validity is a property of arguments; logical truth, falsity, and indeterminacy are properties of sentences; and logical consistency and equivalence are properties of pairs or sets of sentences.

 [No title]
Logic is mainly concerned with inferences -- with drawing conclusions from premises.
Logic aims to separate the good from the bad among arguments and inferences, but the way this works might occasionally strike the novice as "illogical." For example, here is an argument.
Logic can help us figure out what is true by telling us how to move from things we already know to things that we don't yet know but that our premises support.

 Digital Logic
A NOT or Inversion is usually indicated by a Bubble, on either the input or the output of a logic gate symbol.
The convention (which is not always adhered to) is that a POSITIVE Gate Inversion is indicated by a bubble on the output, and with Negative logic the bubble is at the input.
ALL unused inputs of TTL logic devices IDEALLY should be returned to either a logic ONE or logic ZERO.

 The Bible, Logic, and the Postmodern Predicament
Thus, logic is the study of the laws or principles of thought or reason, not just mere thought or thinking per se, but of the type of thought or thinking we term reasoning.
Second, postmodernism views logic as being at best only true for a given individual, community or certain communities or "interpretative community[ies]." In other words, logic is not universally valid or applicable; it is relative only to a given context--person(s), place, or time--or only true for certain individuals or societies or cultures.
Thus, if logic is not true or transculturally applicable then now A can be non-A at the same time and in the same sense and hence the post-modern's position or Panikkar's is now the same as the orthodox Christian's.

 Using Logic   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
This is true because logic depends, first of all, on the ability to move from a premise to a conclusion based on the premise.
Mathematicians and scientists often use symbols to represent logic because it facilitates obtaining a conclusion and is not nearly as subject to error as ordinary languages are.
A simple example of this logic is the situation where the little old lady gives to some fund that claims to feed starving children in Africa and feels good about it even if advised that the money or the food it could buy never makes it to the starving children.

 Peter Suber, "Glossary of First-Order Logic"
A wff A of propositional logic created from a wff B of predicate logic by (1) removing the quantifiers from B, and (2) replacing each predicate symbol (and its arguments) in B with a propositional symbol.
In truth-functional propositional logic, any proposition that is neither a tautology nor a contradiction, hence any proposition that is sometimes true, sometimes false, depending on the row of its truth table column or the interpretation.
A property possessed by all the wffs in a set is logically hereditary iff the accepted rules of inference pass it on (transmit it) to all the conclusions derivable from that set by those rules.

 Philosophy 106: Logic and Arguments
So logic is the study of which sentences follow logically from which; that is, given that certain sentences are true, logic tells us which other sentences are true.
However, the latter sentence does not follow logically from the former, because it is possible for “Jane is tall or George is hungry” to be true and for “Jane is tall” to be false.
However, there is a convention in logic and philosophy that “Either Jane is tall or George is hungry” is true whenever Jane is tall or George is hungry, including when Jane is tall and George is hungry.

 Soundness
In logic we are generally concerned with the quality of the inference – the connection between premises and conclusion – and not with the quality (truth or falsity) of the premises or conclusion.
Conversely, if there is no possible world in which the premises are true and the conclusion false, then any situation that made the premises true would also make the conclusion true, so the truth of the premises would guarantee the truth of the conclusion.
But from the point of view of logic, we don't care a whit whether the premises are true, so long as the argument is sound.

 The Atheism Web: Logic & Fallacies   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
The Concise Oxford English Dictionary defines logic as "the science of reasoning, proof, thinking, or inference." Logic will let you analyze an argument or a piece of reasoning, and work out whether it is likely to be correct or not.
Logic in itself doesn't solve the problem of verifying the basic assertions which support arguments; for that, we need some other tool.
This fallacy is an argument of the form "A implies B, B is true, therefore A is true." To understand why it is a fallacy, examine the truth table for implication given earlier.

 Antimeta: Truth Archives   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
Philosophers on the other hand, have debates about whether classical logic, intuitionism, some sort of relevance, or some other logic is the "one true logic" (or one of the several true logics as advocated by Greg Restall and JC Beall).
That is, "snow is white" is true just in case there is some object that "snow" refers to and a predicate referred to by "white" that applies to that object.
Basically, both of them argue that logical consequence is a notion that is prior to both the syntactic and semantic definitions that are usually given, and the reasons aren't actually all that different.

 Logical Symbols
Although traditional categorical logic can be used to represent and assess many of our most common patterns of reasoning, modern logicians have developed much more comprehensive and powerful systems for expressing rational thought.
The five logical operators are all truth-functional connectives; the truth or falsity of each compound statement formed by using them is wholly determined by the truth-value of the component statements and the meaning of the connective.
symbol is used to symbolize a relationship called material implication; a compound statement formed with this connective is true unless the component on the left (the antecedent) is true and the component on the right (the consequent) is false, as shown in the truth-table at the right.

 03: Mathematical logic and foundations
Mathematical Logic is the study of the processes used in mathematical deduction.
In second-order logic, the quantifiers are allowed to apply to relations and functions -- to subsets as well as elements of a set.
It follows that the set of true first-order statements is effectively enumerable, and decidable: one can deduce in a finite number of steps whether or not such a statement follows from the axioms.
