Aristotelian logic

Aristotelian logic is a type of thinking that helps people decide if something is true or false. It is named after a Greek philosopher called Aristotle who lived from 384-322 BCE.

Aristotelian logic is based on a few simple rules:
1. All things are either true or false.
2. Something cannot be true and false at the same time.
3. If one statement is true, the opposite must be false.

For example, if we say “it is raining” then it can’t also be true that “it is not raining”. One of them is true, and one of them is false, but not both at the same time.

Aristotelian logic helps us make quick and reasonable decisions by looking at the details of the situation. For example, if you’re trying to decide whether to go to the beach with your friends, you could use Aristotelian logic to think it through. Is it sunny and warm outside? If so, the statement “it is a good day to go to the beach” is true. If it is raining, the opposite is true and the statement “it is not a good day to go to the beach” is true.

Using Aristotelian logic can help to make decisions in a logical and straightforward way.
