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

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
