Logic[edit]
Logic is a science that deals with the principles and criteria of validity of inference and demonstration: the science of the formal principles of reasoning. This type of reasoning is the basis of what communication can lead to provide clarity and truth to a statement. This type of processing can be used to draw on conclusion about multiple statements and how they correlate(correlation does not imply causation). To use logic in any setting you need to have a proposition or a statement, once having understood the statement trying to prove whether that statement is true or false is necessary. Understanding fact from opinion is needed to justify whether truth is undeniable fact or ones own belief. Once truth or opinion has been observed one can make more propositions to create a premises that then can lead to a conclusion of what is fact or not.
Example[edit]
Premises: All dog has four legs. Pit-bulls are a type of dog.
Conclusion: All pit-bulls have four legs.
This type of reasoning is deductive reasoning where we can add the pieces together to form a conclusion with two or more premises.
Dialectic[edit]
Dialectic is the the idea of investigating or discussing the truth of opinions through argumentation or discussion. This concept of discovering truth through conversation rather than proving logical tools. Dialectic can be done with the tools that are found in speech and debate with opposing ideas in contrast to another. It's through dialect that dialectic reasoning can be accomplished and bring forth greater ideas of truth or understanding.
