Abstract
Logie: Science structures human thought. It divides thought into individual thoughts, represents the content of these thoughts and distinguishes between true and false thoughts. Logic deals with methods that reduce misunderstandings in the representation of thoughts, and with consistency in deducing the truth of certain thoughts from the truth of given other thoughts. It follows that logic is fundamental to science.
