Logic

Posted on July 20, 2006 by Karen A. Scofield

Well … today I was mulling over why on Earth people tend to see logic as cold or unemotional/impersonal. How completely odd, when you really start thinking about it and recall an array of debates you’ve witnessed or participated in, personal or public.

    I suspect the misunderstanding of logic is the result of Christian theologians and philosophers applying dualism to Greek philosophy and rhetoric. Logic/unemotion is associated with rationality, goodness, and men, while illogic/emotion is associated with irrationality, badness, and women. It’s nonsense, but it is the dominant paradigm…

    So, even the very definition and associations of the word logic are bound by bad logic and associations … in the major paradigm?

    Wonder what it would take to give that paradigm a good shake…and knock the nuts out of the tree.

    Hope it’s not anything like this:

    Question: When is the right time to prepare to raise a child?

    Answer: Two hundred years ago.
