Is Logic Logical?

We can never really know what is right using reasoning or logic , regardless we adopt inductive or deductive reasoning .

The number of factors that work in a given situation are infinite , we can never really take all the factors into consideration to accurately claim validity of a statement . Context-sensitive, domain-specific reasoning mechanisms as opposed to general-purpose reasoning mechanisms is theoretically incoherent and inferentially unjustified. Intellectuals have argued that we have to distinguish deontic and descriptive conditionals, but that the logic of testing deontic conditionals is rather systematic and depend on one's goals which doesn't really tell you if what is acceptable is really the right answer.

Humans aren't creatures of logic but emotional beings, raised in a reductionist society stricken with paralysis of conformity, bristling with prejudice motivated by pride and vanity . In the end the conclusion one draws is seldom logic driven but intent and goal oriented.

When an honest man discovers he is mistaken. He either ceases to be mistaken or ceases to be honest.

Is logic itself logical or reasonable an argument ? It sure does provides a convincing conclusion but rarely addresses the challenge or provides solution. The scientific pursuit is not to make claims but to falsify them . Invalidation , deductive reasoning , falsification or negation is safer and less time consuming an option than carrying the burden of the proof.

"If a card has a vowel on one side, then it has an even number on the other side."

Which card or cards must be turned over to determine whether or not the rule has been followed? "

Now a lot of people may argue all day long , what this test exposes is the two of the most common logical fallacies, affirming the consequent and denying the antecedent, corrupt the valid rules of Modus Ponens the way that affirms by affirming and Modus Tollens, the way that denies by denying . When things are put in the abstract, they might seem valid or invalid, but it's unclear due to obscurity. But when we put things into real-world examples, it's a little easier to see the relationship between the ideas expressed. Most of the people understand the logical solution when it is explained to them , and then agree it to be correct.

However what is not conclusive is whether the subjects regarded their previous solution incorrect, or whether they regarded the problem sufficiently vague to have two interpretations.

The answer to the puzzle is A and 7.

The only way to falsify an "if P, then Q" statement ("if vowel, then even number") is by finding an instance of "P and not Q" ("vowel and odd number"). K and 2 are irrelevant, because these cards cannot combine a vowel and odd number.
