Q:1:- Why logic should be the heart of Philosophy?

Ans:- logic should be at the heart of philosophy because it is the root of every argument.
We judge an argument on its logic. Everything which happens has a process of its
happening. To understand this we use logic. I think that logic is an idea. Logic creates
arguments whatever the arguments are true or false. Logic is the base of thinking and
creating ideas and arguments. Some people say that logic is the heart of Philosophy but
some deny it. They say that the logic is a branch of Philosophy. As I think that logic is the
base of every arguments so I refers that logic should be at the heart of Philosophy.

logic is the most fundamental branch of philosophy. Philosophy is based on reasoning, and
logic is the study of what makes a sound argument, and also of the kind of mistakes we can
make in reasoning. Logic would seem to be related to philosophy in a similar way to how
mathematics relates to science.

SOME ARGUMENTS ABOUT WHY LOGIC SHOULD BE THE HEART

OF PHILOSOPHY:
They both are a way to organize and give meaningful support to ideas and concepts
through the use of systematic thinking processes that serve as a common ground for
everyone to be able to communicate through, and agree upon the results thereafter
attained.

To me, however, without the proper use of logic as a tool in order to get at truth (rather
than merely as a weapon to compete and win at arguments as if one were in a sporting
event), all you really have is colorful artwork in the form of ideas.

In conclusion, one should at least be well familiar and practiced in the use of logic, even if
not required to make use of formal logic as support for an argument, or the use of truth
tables as the philosopher’s equivalent to the scientific method (though I might be the only
one who thinks that attempting to do exactly that, or something similar, is itself a pretty
interesting line of thought).

Logic is the building block of mind’s constructions and no construction can take place
without it. This doesn’t mean that such logical constructions have life when they lack a
solid foundation of facts. ‘Airy castles’ can be built on broken logic- that which starts from
a crumbling foundation of opinion, prejudice, belief and hearsay.
Logic and philosophy should complement each other. It might be a bit absurd to think
about philosophy without logic or logic without philosophy.

Philosophy without logic might seem incomplete. Logic without philosophy might not be
praiseworthy. Logic co-existing with philosophy would be praiseworthy.
