MODERN ASIAN THOUGHT: THE UNIQUE PARTICIPATION OF FILIPINO VALUES

LOGIC IS USEFUL

by: Joshua J. Peliño

    Currently I am studying PHPC 104 that is logic. Before it is hard for me to understand the concept of logic, I try to study and read some notes form the teacher I am not saying that today I understand fully the concept of Logic but I love how logic is useful in my life. Before I did not recognize the beauty of Logic, when I encounter some of the logical words I just skip it I thought that it is useless to read. I never thought that Logic will change my perspectives in life, the way I think, reason and argue. Logic will be useful if I myself will use it to communicate with others. Using logical terms will definitely blow their minds. I remember right after the class I use the terms like “All”, and “Therefore” like when I saw the brothers I create some logical terms example all seminarian are helpful, John Mark is a seminarian, and Therefore John Mark is helpful. I loved using those logical terms I believe that I can use it in day to day bases.

    Logic is our way to have a formal and unique way of reasoning. Reason is very important in pour life, people will understand us when we can convey and persuade the topic. Surely Logic will help us create and make a good argument. Reason will good when it is anchored with logical terms. In my understanding Logic is our model to emphasize our argument. Logic will give us a assurance of effective style of reasoning. I remember when I encounter some philosophy student they were discussing some thoughts from the philosopher, I did not recognize that there are seminarians, they argue and use some Philosophical and Logical thoughts, I cannot understand them. The way they convince and deliver their claims it makes me wonder and wonder, today as I encounter some of their discussion from the philosophical thought from their different subjects I realize that nothing is easy and everything is wonderful. Learning some Logical thoughts will help me to boost my self-confidence in dealing with people. Logic will change of cheap concept to a broad and concise argumentative approach.  

    Logic is part of our life. We can use logic in different aspects like when we deal with the people, day to day bases, and reasoning in both class and work. I personally did not recognize before on how to use the logic, and how to use these as means of argument. Learning these type of concept makes me feel enjoy because you will use it to any kind of argument, you can make it as a founding concept to win any argument. In learning logic, yes it is not easy but I tell you that you will enjoy to use it. Your will make an argument easy but it makes sense. To tell you frankly, learning logic is hard and it will drain most of your energy because you will use critical thinking and assessment. You will deal with different type of laws and model. You will memorize, familiarize and most of you will cherish every concept in your mind. When I remember the first days of my logical studies, I felt uncomfort because it is first time to undergo, I actually felt sleepy I just want to sleep and relax but time goes by, I realize that leaning logic is not a waste of time but a helpful weapon against fake and illogical arguments.   

    Logic in my own understanding is tricky wisdom because if you will use logic in a wrong manner the whole text will be doubtful. I assured that wisdom in learning logic will ease our burden because  I experience a lot in a way that everything is wrong, but our teacher is always helping us to understand not everything but by process. Our professor is making our class logical, he is using some logical term and help us to acquire more knowledge, encourage us to read and right. He help us to face the world of logic with guiding principles. I cannot say that I learn everything from him because it is a gradual process and it is up to me that I will nourish everything from his class. I do also some effort in learning the concept and I also try to create my logical terms so that I will use it in defending my faith, argue and reason out.

    Lastly, Logic is useful because it will change your life the way you think and reason out. I am looking forward in learning new concepts from logic and I will always treasure everything from the class because I believe that I will use it in the future. Logic is not easy but if we learn to listen and do some effort we will understand the concept step by step.
