Logic translated from classical Greek - this argument.It seems that everything we think, therefore, logical thinking is inseparable from our mind.However, operation with the arguments - just one of the types of processes of understanding and knowledge.Reflecting on the task of solving the problem, we can use one or the other type of thinking or several.
Young children have not appeared the ability to think logically and abstractly.Remember how kids learn to count: to give the child the idea of a non-existent in the nature of "3", it is allowed to touch the subject of three of the same type.The child will need an effort to escape from the non-essential differences between these objects (for example, from the fact that one of the three green apples, and another - red) and combine items into one group.
Therefore, logical thinking, as opposed to the figurative, operates with abstract concepts.This is a special kind of understanding of the process, which uses ready-made logical design concepts, judgments, and eventually produced an inference or conclusion.We can not say that the use of such a structure will necessarily lead to the correct conclusion.Incorrect and that, if a person uses imagination to think emotionally, imaginatively, or listen to your intuition, it will lead him to wrong conclusions.Good use in the process of deliberation on the issue of all types of thinking, not forgetting the critical approach.
Our understanding, building on the case be transferred to the abstract reasoning and logical structures to creating a solution to move it again at this specific, isolated incident.Thus, logical thinking passes through the following steps.Analysis, when we dissect some difficult situation on the characteristics of the components or parts.At this stage, we apply the methods of induction, deduction and analogy.Deductive method suggests - if something is applicable to a group of objects, it applies to one object in the group.A inductive, on the contrary, suggests that some basic qualities of an object apply to all objects of the group.The analogy connects specific subjects two different groups that are similar in some properties.
But mere logical thinking analysis and synthesis is not limited.In its process, it passes through a certain stage.The first of them - search for and identification of causal relationships.What gave rise to this phenomenon?Why was this a problem?Proper establishment of such relations - it is the key to success right conclusions.The second step - is the separation of primary from the secondary."After" does not mean "because."If we take a secondary, private as a significant, we will build the wrong conclusion.Next is the manipulation of concepts and judgments - in fact, the search for solutions.
judgments may be wrong, stereotyped.If you take them without a critical approach, we risk an impasse.At this point we abstract from our particular case, and think globally, in terms verbal terms.In our mind there is no specific image of the subject, but there is a linguistic structure.Verbal and logical thinking is very important at all stages of solving the problem: the correct formulation of the question;in identifying what caused its occurrence;in identifying exactly what you need to create (or fix) to solve a problem.And, of course, in order to understand how to apply his abstract conclusion to this particular situation.
would be wrong to assume that the abstract logical thinking can completely replace or displace figurative, sensual, intuitive and associative.Man therefore stronger robot that is able to be used at the same time understanding all types, in addition to standard applications stereotyped methods.Our emotional attitudes (likes and dislikes), our fantasy and imagination, the association, which allow us to mentally compare quite dissimilar things and concepts sometimes lead us to a completely trivial, illogical, but amazingly brilliant conclusions.
