Formal Logic

Famous quotes containing the words formal and/or logic:

“On every formal visit a child ought to be of the party, by way of provision for discourse.”
—Jane Austen (1775–1817)

“We want in every man a long logic; we cannot pardon the absence of it, but it must not be spoken. Logic is the procession or proportionate unfolding of the intuition; but its virtue is as silent method; the moment it would appear as propositions and have a separate value, it is worthless.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
