Formal Logic

Famous quotes containing the words formal and/or logic:

“The bed is now as public as the dinner table and governed by the same rules of formal confrontation.”

“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.”
