A Logical Construct

[emprworm]

"Logic is relative. Say Person X and I are faced with an angry mob. Person X may think that in order to survive he must win and in order to win he must fight. I, on the other hand, would run away. This goes by the logic, if I don't fight I won't win but at least I won't get hurt. "

i wouldn't say logic is relative. Logic may be open or inconclusive.

Using your example:

Person X observes mob. Mob is composed of 1000 people.

Person X is armed with a baseball bat. Mob is coming at him at 6KPH and will descend upon him in 2 minutes.

Person X concludes, using "logic" that he can beat the mob in a fight.

Person Y concludes that he should run.

Both people observed the same thing. But person X uses bad logic.

Now lets say there were only 5 people instead of 1000. In this case, both people conclude differently given the same data. Neither person necessarily uses bad or different logic. Their logic is the same. Their conclusions are different.

I argue that Logic is always the same. It is unchangeable and objective. There is objective good logic, and objecitve bad logic. Conclusions are what is subjective.

Person X is Bruce Lee, Person Y is a politican. ;)
