Aristole's Argument Of Logic

Logic something used all the time even when you might not be aware of it. Logic is defined as “reasoning conducted or assessed according to strict principles of validity.” But why do I find the philosophical theory of logic so interesting and so valid in life? Simple, with logic alone you can present “educated” arguments on any topic you want. Logic is the base of life whether it’s with the logic of religion to educate someone on a belief or even presenting logic to convince someone that a stop sign is in fact blue not red. One of the worlds most recognized philosopher Aristole, was a strong believer of logic and used it in his arguments. I’m intrigued by the fact that with logic alone you can try to prove something or convince
others of something. I also favor and agree with the idea of Aristoles quote “logic is the instrument (the "organon") by means of which we come to know anything.” Why should anyone really care about Logic? It’s simple because without logic you can’t argue or accept something new because there’s no thought or reason behind it. How can I even argue an essay on pretty much anything if I don’t have a reason behind the logical topic I’m using, you can’t.
Nothing can be truly argued without passing through one’s criticism and reflection on the topic. “Logic is all about reasons. Every day we consider possibilities, we think about what follows from different assumptions, what would be the case in different alternatives, and we weigh up competing positions or options. In all of this, we reason. Logic is the study of good reasoning, and in particular, what makes good reasoning good.” If you don’t have good logic and reason to argue or debate a subject then its
invalid. Logic is more than an argument even the most rational people are forced to accept the idea and use of logic because its such a duty-bound principle that tends to work inevitably.
For me I can’t see the idea of logic being argued with but it happens all the time. To argue with logic, you would need to present fallacies in your argument. Fallacies are, “the use of invalid or otherwise faulty reasoning, or "wrong moves" in the construction of an argument. A fallacious argument may be deceptive by appearing to be better than it really is.” One of my favorite philosophers that lives his life purely on logic is Spock from Star Trek, one of his famous quotes is “Once you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth” this statement is a very logical one from the great Spock which comes from a Shelock Holmes reference . The father of logic and ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle (384-322 B.C.) wrote the first known treatises of logical theory and began teaching the first logic classes in history. Aristole set the bar pretty high and was well ahead of his time with his idea of logical theory. Other theory’s fall short to the theory of logic because they can’t offer a valid argument. Logical theory is more then just a theory it’s the base of all theories presented, this is because to have an accepted theory by others you need to prove and explain why it should be accepted and that’s where you use
logic. I truly believe in the idea of logic and use it in my day to day life, I present logic when I have an academic debate at school or even when I’m trying to persuade a beautiful girl to give me her number. The logical theory is such a strong idea that it can’t be taken away, I plan to study more on the use of logic because it can push you past limits in life you may think where unobtainable to reach. While in an interview for a dream job you can use logic to argue why you would best fit that position. To know how to use logic and avoid fallacies it will allow you to even criticize others ideas and beliefs effectively. This can help you become more independent and even help set a better future for the country by using logic to vote on what you believe would be the best president or even save your life with logically making ideas like taking an uber home instead of drinking and driving. The debate on a more accepted philosophical theory cannot be augured with against the theory of logic, but only be argued with the use of fallacies. I picked the theory of logic because I was taught to use it at a young age. You’re taught from your parents and teachers to be logical on your decisions in life which has brought you to where you are today. Yes, sometimes we don’t always use logic when we make certain decisions but when we do they usually turn out very well. Thanks to the father of the logical theory Aristotle, I use his theory to purse what I think would be best for me to go to college to farther my education. With my drive to be a young philosopher myself I use his advice everyday and it never disappoints. “Hope is a waking dream.” – Aristotle. This is a quote I’ve recently found and it has kept me dreaming and hopeful on the bright future I see for myself.
