    Lord, keep our eyes fixed on You as we


    go through each day;
    Remind us of your goodness and mercy.
    By your goodness and mercy,
    Your amazing grace,
    Lead us home to You,
    And give us rest along the way.
    We ask this through Christ, Our Lord.
    Amen.

    Chalcis, Greece
    Aristotle
    • Regarded as father of Logic.
    • He became successful in
    separating logic from the
    totality of philosophy.
    • His six treatise which were
    collectively known as
    Organon became the bible for
    logical study during the
    Medieval and up to the
    modern times.
    Organon

    especially a means of reasoning
    or a system of logic.

    Influence

    Syllogism- a logical
    argument that uses
    deductive reasoning to

    Aristotle
    • Aristotle’s legacy extended all
    the way to the writings of his
    student named Theophrastus
    of Lesbos
    St. Thomas
    Aquinas
    • Most influential figure in
    connection to the development of
    Logic.
    • He was named Angelic doctor of
    the Church.
    • He introduced the logical ideas of
    Aristotle to the Christian world.
    St. Thomas
    Aquinas
    St. Thomas Aquinas (c1225-1274) is
    arguably the most important Catholic
    theologian in history. In his major work
    Summa Theologica, widely considered as
    the highest achievement of medieval
    systematic theology, Aquinas presented
    his five proofs of God's existence known
    as the Quinque Viae (Latin for "Five
    Ways"). Considered a new step in doing
    Logic in the middle ages.
    St. Thomas
    Aquinas
    ● Thomas' first way involves the
    evidence of motion.
    ● The second way involves the
    notion of efficient cause.
    ● The third way notes that every
    existing thing does not owe its
    existence to itself.
    St. Thomas
    Aquinas
    ● The fourth way shows that
    there exist gradations in
    things.
    ● The fifth way argues that the
    behavior of things in the world
    implies a Grand Designer or
    architect, God.
    Francis Bacon and John
    Stuart Mill
    • Made some negative criticism
    regarding the traditional Logic of
    Aristotle.
    • They both claimed that the Logic
    of Aristotle is outdated and
    needed to be updated.
    • Bacon introduced inductive
    reasoning a.k.a as Scientific
    method
    Pedagogical
    nature of Logic
    Logic as a branch of
    Philosophy is considered by
    many to be the foundation of
    Philosophy since its function
    is to train the thinking mind
    toward the formulation of
    arguments necessary for the
    study of their coherence,
    truthfulness, and validity.
