Why is LOGIC such a useful and/or misused tool......?

Question

Can LOGIC ever be objective in it's nature?

Answer 1

LOgic is useful in justifying our initial gut reaction so that we can appear rational. Sometimes, we get lucky.

Logic is objective within the parameters established. Unfortunately, the parameters are subjective and limiting.

Logic is like a flashligt. It's illumination as a function of its focus, but what is not in focus is often more revealing.

Answer 2

Logic is inherently flawed because:

Logic has to start with a premise (an assumption).
A premise by it's nature has a bias (based on opinion).
So, although all the logic that follows may be objective, it is all based on an opinion.

Or;
Logic is, "If, then, then, then, etc." , and has way too many opportunities for a bad decision that propagates through the whole thought train.

Answer 3

What? Logic is no good, these others seem to be saying? What could possibly be an alternative of any value?

Can you add more detail to your question so I can understand what you are really asking about?

Answer 4

I suppose if someone wanted to make a choice between two equally correct answers, logically, logic could then be "objective".

Answer 5

To answer, I'd have to take a course in logic. Is Mr. Spock online?

Answer 6

Logic is useful because you can examine an argument and see if it is balony.
Throw out the balony!
This is actually very useful in life, because so many people give you balony arguments.

Answer 7

Are you expecting a logical answer....

Logic is inherently flawed because it must be based on a set of axioms that can never cover all possible permutations and twistings. However, it is useful because it is a 98% solution.
