Logic and Culture
Logic and Culture

Summary/Abstract: Logic and culture, two different and, some would say, incompatible (noncorresponding) terms, are still connected with logic of values. In other words, logical conclusion (regardless how much it is based on reality judgments), is influenced (determined) by a given culture and a system of values within that culture. Logic does deal with reality judgments, but logic of values deals with value (normative) judgments and those judgments neither claim nor refuse that something is(or isn't), but they represent demands referring to people to do or not to do something in order to accomplish the goals (values) that community longs for. Value judgments are not, like reality judgments are, true or false, they are right or wrong. Logical judgment and conclusion itself is determined by the goals/values of a given culture.
