Read the following passage and answer
the questions 46 to 50:
Just as 'beautiful' points the way for
aesthetics and 'good' for ethics, so do words like 'true' for logic. All
sciences have truth as their goal; but logic is also concerned with it in a
quite different way: logic has much the same relation to truth as physics has
to weight or heat. To discover truths is the task of all sciences; it falls to
logic to discern the laws of truth. The word 'law' is used in two senses. When
we speak of moral or civil laws we mean prescriptions, which ought to be obeyed
but with which actual occurrences are not always in conformity. Laws of nature
are general features of what happens in nature, and occurrences in nature are
always in accordance with them. It is rather in this sense that I speak of laws
of truth. Here of course it is not a matter of what happens but of what is.
From the laws of truth there follow prescriptions about asserting, thinking,
judging, inferring. And we may very well speak of laws of thought in this way
too. But there is at once a danger here of confusing different things. People
may very well interpret the expression 'law of thought, by analogy with 'law of
nature'
and then have in mind general features
of thinking as a mental occurrence. A law of thought in this sense would be a
psychological law. And so they might come to believe that logic deals with the
mental process of thinking and with the psychological laws in accordance with
which this takes place. That would be misunderstanding the task of logic, for
truth has not here been given its proper place.
- Wittgenstein.
