Tradicionālā loģika – arhaisms vai fenomens ar attīstības iespējām

Abstract

The aim of the article is to show the specifics of traditional logic. To a large extent, logic initially operates as Aristotle's logic. The traditional formal logic appears as a combination of individual elements, which are obtained from logical systems of various historical eras and directions. The author believes that the subject of logic is objectively linked to the category of the form, but the difficulty in understanding the form lies in the complexity of the form’s nature. The author claims that the content, which differs from the form, is not included in it. There is a functional difference between the form and the content. It is assumed that the types of logic appear as a function of a certain form, and diversity of logic is a consequence of the various manifestations of the form. Logic is interested in the correct form. Such assessment of the form includes an idea of the form as a specific condition. The correct form is a condition for the safety of information included in the statements or their sets. The author argues that logic can be characterized as a science of formal conditions and ways to achieve information security of certain parameters. Supposedly, traditional logic is a formal (form-based) science, which however is limited to certain substantial conditions, and that is one of the factors that forms the specifics of science. The author emphasizes that the tools offered by traditional logic allow to find solutions related to novelty.
