Study Notes
Science
- Science is a systematic, methodical, and established body of knowledge.
- It is considered proven knowledge that can be verified through observation and experimentation.
- It can be categorized into physical, biological, and human sciences.
- The term "science" is often reserved for physical sciences due to their exact and quantitative nature.
Laws
- Laws are general truths that hold good for specific fields.
- There are three main types: natural, political, and normative laws.
-
Natural laws are statements describing the uniformity of natural events.
- These laws are universal and cannot be violated.
- For example, Newton's Law of Gravitation.
-
Political laws are orders regulating society for welfare.
- They are of the nature of commands and are specific to societies.
- For example, the Indian Constitution or the Indian Penal Code.
-
Normative laws are imposed for the realization of ideals.
- They are followed because they are considered necessary for achieving those ideals.
- For example, the laws of Logic are normative, as they ensure the realization of truth.
Validity
- Validity refers to the truth or correctness of a thought.
- Some distinguish between logically consistent (valid) and consistent with facts (true).
- Logic aims at truth, which encompasses both formal and material validity.
- An argument can be formally valid but materially false, or vice versa.
Thought
- Logic focuses on the expressed form of thought, not the internal mental process.
- Thought is composed of three levels: concept, judgment, and reasoning.
- Concept is a general idea or meaning of a term.
- Judgment is the process of relating two concepts.
- Reasoning is the process of drawing inferences from judgments.
Logic as the Science of Sciences
- Logic is considered the science of sciences because its laws are the foundation of all other sciences.
- Logic's universality and fundamentality make it the basis for various fields, including mathematics and physical sciences.
Logic as the Art of Arts
- Logic is also considered the art of arts because correct thinking is fundamental to all artistic activities.
- It guides the manipulation of materials and methods in any art form.
Logic and Psychology
- Logic deals with thought, while Psychology focuses on the mind.
- Both disciplines intersect in their study of thought processes.
- Logic relies on psychology to understand the structure and composition of thought.
- While Logic emphasizes the validity and truth of thought, Psychology aims to understand the mental processes involved.
- Key differences between Logic and Psychology include:
- Logic is a normative science, guided by the standard of truth.
- Psychology is a natural science, examining the mental processes as they occur.
