Quote A

I usually associate Logic as being the truth. J.W. Krutch on the other hand feels the opposite by saying “Logic is the art of going wrong with confidence.” meaning that logic is not true. What J.W. Krutch is saying is that you can be logical and wrong. Many people think as i thought that logic needs to be truthful therefore disagreeing with this statement. But when reading this statement, I think back to what we have learned in class which is validity vs truth. With this knowledge I agree with J.W. Krutch's statement because I view logic as a type of argument and we learned that an argument can be valid and also false. Logic is mainly how you explain your self and as long as you can explain yourself it does not matter weather it is true or not.
