Artist's Treatment of Beauty Is Actual. Philosopher'S Is Theoretical

Philosophy is defined as the love of wisdom and the science of all that exists in their ultimate cause through human intellect alone. It seeks ultimate knowledge through natural reason rather than divine revelation. Logic is the science of correct thinking, dealing with mental processes that seek truth and use truth to gain further knowledge. It is important as it develops clear thinking, guides conclusions, emphasizes definitions, and helps detect flaws in reasoning.

Philosophy is the science of all that exist in their ultimate cause through the aid of the
human intellect alone.

ELEMENTS IN THE DEFINITION OF PHILOSOPHY

on opinions, hypothesis and theories, but on ideal knowledge.
2. Of beings, i.e, of all, everything that exists, or may exist, of everything
knowable. Philosophy is the highest synthesis of all sciences because of
it’s very vast scope and subject matter.
3. In their ultimate cause, because it asks and answers not only facts and
proximate causes but also the deepest causes things.

Logic is order and consistency. It is the science of those principles, laws and methods
which the mind of man must follow in its thinking for the secure and accurate attainment
of the truth. In short, Logic is the science and art of correct thinking.

Logic deals with the acts of the mind- the mental process THINKING. Others may say
that imagining and day dreaming are thinking, but these are not the kind of thinking we
consider in logic.

According to Corazon Cruz (1995), there are two criteria for mental process to be
considered thinking:

1. When the object is truth


2. When the truth We have becomes the Nucleus of
further knowledge.

Correct Thinking
-is a process of thinking or reasoning that follows the right
procedure.
True Knowledge
-deals with knowledge which conforms to reality.

The Formal object of Logic:


-The soundness of reasoning is the one that is important.
-The first concern of logic is validity.
-An argument is sound when it is both valid and true.

2. It is a guide in the process of drawing conclusions.
3. It emphasizes the importance of definition.
4. It helps us interpret facts adequately.
5. It cultivates the habit of looking for the assumptions pre supposed
in reasoning.
6. It trains us in the technique of determining implications.

and combatsophisms.

sequence and following of the rules.
1.2 Material Logic is concerned with the subject matter, content or truth.

2. BASED ON THE PROCESS OF THINKING
