Logic is a formal science, that is, like any of the formal sciences it creates its own object of study and the reasoning and the creation of ideas by the mind are your methodology of work and knowledge, but also, logic, is one of the most important and popular branches within the Philosophy, its object of study being the principles of demonstration and inference valid, which are the methods that will ultimately make it possible to distinguish the correct reasoning from the incorrect.
The origin of logic dates back to the golden age of classical Greece and the Greek philosopher Aristotle is considered as the creator and father of it, since he was the first to use the notion and give it the entity that he keeps to this day, of studying arguments as manifestations of truth in science.
This logic that we described above and of which Aristotle stands as its founder is also known as formal logicmeanwhile, there is also a informal logic which will focus its attention on the methodical study of those probable arguments from philosophy, rhetoric and
oratory, among other sciences that deal with these.Basically, informal logic spends all its efforts on identifying fallacies and paradoxes and on the correct structuring of discourses.
But in formal and informal logic the question is not exhausted since we also find other types of logics that propose absolutely different methodologies such as the natural logic which is the one that the thought natural, as it happens, without resorting to formal science as a base of support.
Then the fuzzy logic or also called fuzzy that it takes certain licenses with respect to the others and admits certain ambiguity between the truth or falsity of their propositions, in close agreement and relationship with human reason.
In another order we can find the Mathematical logic that is handled using a language artificial and symbolic and making an abstraction of the contents. And finally the binary logic which works with variables that admit only two discrete values.
