Why do we need logic

Logic is not just a sequence in reasoning, but a whole science that is studied and researched. If curiosity or necessity has led you to this textbook, and there is not enough time and energy for classes that do not bring visible benefits, then a reasonable question arises: why is logic necessary?

Acquaintance with logic will allow you first of all to learn to think accurately and express your thoughts. Even if you used to speak incoherently and vaguely, then logic will contribute to the formation of clear and coherent speech.

Thanks to this science, you will gain the possibility of a logical justification of your ideas and decisions, and you will be able to convince other people that you are right. This skill can be useful in any field of activity, it will become the key to your success on the career ladder.

Gradually, logic will form in you the habit of analyzing both your own and those of others, arming you with tools that allow you to identify and eliminate the error in the conclusions, cope with sophistry and demagogy. Suppose you are addressed with these words: "I am a man, but you are not me, then you are not a man." Can you adequately object to this, even if you feel that something is wrong here? Many will be confused and answer "Himself a fool." But, knowing the basics of logic, you can find and identify a violation, adequately respond and shame the ignoramus.

Logic will teach you the art of controversy, which will come in handy both in professional activities and in everyday life. Inability to argue often leads to screaming, bickering, and even a fight. The logical justification of your opinion will help you find a compromise, refute the opponent’s erroneous beliefs, and expose dishonest tricks and tricks.

In a difficult life situation, when emotions overwhelm the mind, you can figure it out and put it all “on the shelves”, “restrain” emotions. Then, when all the root causes and sources of the problem will be clear, just start to get out of a difficult situation, using logic and psychology.

Surely among your friends there are many manipulators who cleverly arrange their affairs at your expense. Familiarity with the basics of logic will allow you to recognize their intentions in time and easily cope with them.

Around today there is a lot of unverified information, you get it from advertising, television, from the Internet, from unfamiliar people. You must learn to recognize a lie in time and protect yourself from it; in this, logic can also help you.
