Logic or Logos “(In Jungian psychology) the principle of reason and judgment, associated with the animus” predates humans and exists as the primary guiding force of the universe (Logos). Humans have developed a special relationship with logic through the use of reasoning. This reasoning is distinct in humans where we see that the ideas and principles of logic, A is A, A is not B and A cannot be and not be. Scientists have studied what gives humans this ability to think logically and their conclusions often suggest that the prefrontal cortex and the folds that exist on the human brain provide the ability to perform a large number of logical calculations in real-time. There has been, for a long time, a question as to the origin of mathematics.

Many would suggest that his system of logic was the only system of logic to be followed and that it was complete. It is evident that there have been further discoveries, however; those will be investigated later. Aristotle’s system of logic has its roots in deduction. That is to say – by assuming the premise is true you can then prove the later assertions. One example would be where the premise is “All automobiles have seats.” Therefore, and with the knowledge that a Ford Taurus is an automobile, we can deduce that the Ford Taurus DOES have seats. Induction also exists and is used to draw inferences where we would say that from the specific we can make a general statement. This is to be interpreted strictly for it to be logical as there exists a logical fallacy – Generalization that is similar to inferences, but it is a fallacy because it relies on evidence that cannot always be …show more content…
The aforementioned irrationality will often dictate action if one cedes their better judgment. “Yin-yang [is viewed] as the coherent fabric of nature and mind, exhibited in all existence” (Wang). Reflection in the form of meditation and isolation act as a Yin-Yang when combined with rede afforded by peers. One must not forget that their actions establish guiding principles when predicated by logic and reasoning. Upon the recognition of a member the ceremony is devoid of the pomp and circumstance, but each is awarded a pendant that serves as a reminder to the individual and a message to others that their path is the
