Logic (Sir Robert Bryson Hall II) Quotes
Logic is concerned with arguments, good and bad. With the docile and the reasonable, arguments are sometimes useful in settling disputes. With the reasonable, this utility attaches only to good arguments. It is the logician’s business to serve the reasonable. Therefore, in the realm of arguments, it is the logician who distinguishes good from bad.
