World Logic Day

World Logic Day is an international holiday celebrating the importance of logic. It is on January 14th. This day is designed to emphasize the great role of logic in the life of every person and society as a whole. Logic reflects the human essence, distinguishing us from animals. Through reasoning, we learn about the world around us and develop as individuals.

History

World Logic Day was established by UNESCO on November 26, 2019, and has been every year on January 14 since then. Its purpose is to draw the attention of researchers and society to the importance of logic.

Logic has been one of the main philosophical concepts throughout history. It can be thought of as a procedure for learning the principles of correct reasoning. What is meant by this description? We all analyze the information that comes to us. Based on the data received, the brain builds a certain logical chain, thanks to which we can make informed decisions or form different points of view.

Our whole life is built on logic, and we often don’t even think about it. Let’s take an example. An apple can be cut into pieces. An apple is a fruit and it is soft, so we can cut it with a kitchen knife. Conclusion: an apple can be cut into pieces with a knife.
