Logic (from the Ancient Greek: λογική, logike) is the use and study of valid reasoning.
The study of logic features most prominently in the subjects of philosophy, mathematics (nonfiction), and computer science.
In the West, logic was established as a formal discipline by Aristotle (nonfiction), who gave it a fundamental place in philosophy.
Logic is often divided into three parts:
- Inductive reasoning
- Abductive reasoning
- Deductive reasoning
Fiction cross-reference
Nonfiction cross-reference
