LOGIC

The art or science of human reasoning. As an art, logic is the cultivated skill in reasoning with order and precision, with ease and without error. As a science, logic is the study of the first principles of knowledge, through inductive and deductive inference, and of the norms for clear thinking that leads to firm certitude.
