The fiver areas of Philosphy are...
Metaphysics-Who Am I? What Am I?
Epistemology-How do I think?
Ethics-What is evil?
Aesthetics-What is art?
And Logic- (but what is logic? help me out)

Logics? That's easy: it is the "formal rules through which the metaphysical, the epistemological, the ethical and the aesthetics propositions show their validity or not"; these validity or invalidity are composed of "rules" that, expressing the system of human thought, give us the feeling/sensation/thought of certainty or uncertainty, leave us with doubts or with no doubts, give us is some thing is possible or not.
If you understood correctly my writings above (sorry for my probably mistake! English is not my first language!), then you will correctly get what Formal Logics is all about.
Tnx and have good answers!

Metaphysics is also about what's real. Ethics is also about what's good, what's justice.
Logic is about Truth. It's about valid argument. It's the most mathematical of the branches of philosophy. See link.

Logic is a system of reasoning. The other forms of thought come from that. As to the what question - What is the premise?
FYI - ethics - What is duty?
Morality - what is evil?

Some have defined logic as the science of correct thinking. What is valid or invalid argumentation? What constutes sound or unsound reasoning?

One author has defined as the art of "correct" thinking.
I think Le Brazil's answer is great!
