Thursday, October 27th, 2011Question by oscar c: In logic, which Philosopher’s method of logical reasoning is solidly adapted onwards to modern Philosophy?
Method which was never modified, disputed or made changes to as compared to Socratic/dialectic method which many consider it erroneous?
What is this method called?
Aristotle carried this line of reasoning further by holding that although the world of experience is our real world, genuine knowledge consists of knowing the reasons or causes of things. To reach these basic causes, man must follow certain laws of logic or true processes of thought. The pattern of true thought is, he argued, ‘Syllogism’ in which we move from a generally accepted principle to a particular.
ex.
All men are infidels
Ben is a man
George is another man
Ben and George are infidels.
Aristotle worked out the science of deductive logic completely that little or nothing has been added to it even to the present. He laid down all the laws and gave examples which men have been able to follow with success ever since.
