LOGIC Greek Word LOGOS------gt designates a
certain kind of thinking about the world, a kind
of rational (having reason or sanity) analysis
that places things in the context of reason and
explains them with pure force of thought! Such
an intellectual exercise was supposed to lead to
wisdom. Before Logos was invented MYTHOS----gt
a certain way of thinking that placed the world
in the contest of its SUPERNATURAL origins, and
is conservative by nature. ---gtPositive---it
creates a whole social world in which acts had
meaning(Sioux Nation before Louisiana

CLASSICAL LOGIC Aristotles Logic is known
today as SYLLOGISTIC REASONING. A basic
SYLLOGISM is an argument made up of statements in
one of four forms ---all As are B
(universal) ---No As are B (universal
negative) ---Some As are B (Particular) ---So
me As are not B (Particular negative) Well
formed syllogisms consist of 2 premises and a
conclusion.

Classical Logic Cont Each premise has one term
in common with each other, and with the
conclusion a triangle! Prem1-----------Prem

are also two different types of reasoning
styles Deductive Reasoning--------- P.1
P.2 Inductive Reasoning----- Conclusion
Conclusion p.1 p.2 Example exit polls,

Part II INTUITION INTUITION ISA form of
knowledge or cognition independent of experience
or reason. A inherent quality of the
mind. HISTORY This concept is actually the
fusion of two different ideas Axiom which means
something that is self evident and requires no
proof. (ex Dont pull your phone out in front
of an administrator.) Revelation is a mystical
idea which identifies that truth, real truth,
surpasses the power of the intellect. (ex if
I study my notes before the night of a test or
quiz, I could do better.)

REMEMBER Logic is a relatively new concept, and
not really a popular one when it was developed.
Rightly or wrongly intuition has always played a
major role in the lives of humans. The
Philosopher Spinoza called intuition the highest
form of knowledge, over empirical knowledge (uses
senses) and scientific knowledge (reason).
