informal and formal logic
Informal logic refers to the analysis and evaluation of arguments based on everyday language, common sense, and practical reasoning. It focuses on understanding the structure and coherence of arguments without strict adherence to specific rules or formal frameworks. Formal logic, on the other hand, is a branch of logic that uses mathematical symbols and precise rules to analyze the structure and validity of arguments. It aims to eliminate ambiguity and provide a systematic approach to reasoning, often using deductive methods to determine if an argument is logically sound.
