how does Logic affect our lives?

Question

the subject LOGIC in collegiate.. i mean how does logical reasoning or logic per ce affect our daily lives what is its importance or is it important. what is its impact on everything we do coz for a fact everything is done logically without us knowing it.

Answer 1

Very superficially.

Answer 2

It does not. Please look up the Uncertainty Principle and Heisenberg.

What you think is logical, is based upon assumptions made that are made because they have been observed. Logic is metaphysical because it does manifest itself in the physical world save perhaps in Mathematics. But if you go deeper into Mathematics, you'll go to a dead end when it comes to your question since your question has the tone of practicality.

Practically speaking, rudimentary logic does work. We call this lower form of logic, common sense. However, if you are speaking of the Logic of Bertrand Russell, then that's where the line has to be drawn.

Ohh, you're a newbie. That was why you asked a smart question. Hi and welcome to Yahoo Answers where you usually get b$.

Anyway, your question is very hard to answer since it is general.

1. Clarify what you mean by "logic"
2. Clarify what you mean by "it affects our lives"

Anyway, if you are still interested in me and my version of the b$. You know where to email me.

Answer 3

Logic stems from our cognition... which is based upon the promptings for "remediation" we receive from our (in)formed perceptions which go into making up our world-view "sensibilities."

People tend to perceive logic as a 'pure' thing, but it can be made to be "prostituted" just like statistics can. Contrary to the one-liner purported by Bill O'Rielly, there is no such thing as a "no-spin zone" or some fanciful notion of pure, unadulterated "objectivity." The best we can do is to seek "inter-rater" reliability in our obsevations & "statements of fact." Spin IS relative to perspectives embraced or taken and we can only attempt to determine its (the specific spin under review) relative "legitimacy" as it applies to a set of circumstances or the "contextual backdrop." Does this make sense to you?
Logic is GOOD. But it is only a tool, and therefore open for use by either the well-intentioned or (unfortunately) the unscrupled.

Answer 4

You would think that logic would be fairly "logical" - and some of it is objectively logical. But most of it, like everything else in life, is at least partly subjective.

Human subjectiveness tends to muddy up any definition, but logic includes "common sense", which you probably use in your daily life.

Answer 5

If used properly, logic makes life quite simple. the logical conclusion to this question is that you need to practice the use of logic and its concepts to enhance your life.
1&1 are 11 and 1+1=2 do you understand?

Answer 6

Every step of the way. Knowingly or Unknowingly you are using Logic in many places. You are making decisions based on the logic. Isnt that affecting your life?

Answer 7

Logic turns off dreams.
Logic is a way of turning on brain and turning off heart and emotions.
But sometimes you can put together logics and the dreams when you make logic plans to get your dreams and evaluate possibilities.

Answer 8

Ditto Jibba Jabba.

Answer 9

How does it affect our lives? It makes us crazy... because all of the illogical thinking in the world makes those of us who consider ourselves fairly logical bang our heads against the wall every day. Ouch. It hurts.

Answer 10

Your making a dangerous generalization that it affects "our" as in "everyones lives".

Rephrase: "How does logic affect the lives of those not associated with politics or religous affiliation?"

Answer 11

Logic absolutely ruins our lives, because if you look closely, you'll see we are all very rotten creatures capable of great evil at worst and great hypocrisy at best.
