Logic and history


Logic (from the Ancient Greek: is the systematic study of the form of valid inference, and the most general laws of truth Jan (1957)..A valid inference is one where there is a specific relation of logical support between the assumptions of the inference and its conclusion. In ordinary discourse, inferences may be signified by words such as therefore, thus, hence, ergo, and so on.
History (the study of or a record of) past events considered together, especially events of a particular period, country, or subject:
Ø  I studied modern European history at college.
Ø  American history
Ø  Annie's decided to write a history of electronic music.
I only asked him for a cigarette, but two hours later he'd told me his whole life history
History (from Greek meaning 'inquiry; knowledge acquired by investigation')  is the past as it is described in written documents, and the study thereof Richard, eds. (2008).  Events occurring before written records are considered prehistory. "History" is an umbrella term that relates to past events as well as the memory, discovery, collection, organization, presentation, and interpretation of information about these events. Scholars who write about history are called historians.
History also includes the academic discipline which uses a narrative to examine and analyse a sequence of past events, and objectively determine the patterns of cause and effect that determine them
The history of logic deals with the study of the development of the science of valid inference (logic). Formal logics developed in ancient times in India, China, and Greece. Greek methods, particularly Aristotelian logic (or term logic) as found in the Organon, found wide application and acceptance in Western science and mathematics for millennia
History of logic, the history of the discipline from its origins among the ancient Greeks to the present time.
Logics of History argue that both history and the social sciences have something crucial to offer each other. In Logics of History, he reveals the shape such an engagement could take, some of the topics it could illuminate, and how it might affect both sides of the disciplinary divide
Logics of History argue that both history and the social sciences have something crucial to offer each other. While historians do not think of themselves as theorists William H. Sewell, they know something social scientists do not: how to think about the temporalities of social life. On the other hand, while social scientists’ treatments of temporality are usually clumsy, their theoretical sophistication and penchant for structural accounts of social life could offer much to historians
