Logic has got two different kind of logic. One is called deductive logic, which is “concerned with the rules for determining when an argument is valid.” It is not concerned with truth at all but the process of reasoning. It helps us understand the clear reason behind the argument. It is constructed the way that premises lead to the conclusion of an issue. It works from the general down to the specific and therefore often can be wrong. An example for deductive logic is: All plants are green; Grass is a plant; therefore grass is green.
The other form is called inductive logic. This is a form of generalisation. It practically works the other way round from the specific to the general. An example for inductive logic is: This paper is white; therefore all paper is white. In this method an incident is source for a conclusion, whereas other steps of premises may be in between, of course. This method of gaining knowledge is often used in Mathematics when mathematicians set up rules and generalisations. Recently some of those rules were proved wrong, as computer calculated them into high numbers which were not used in the set up of those generalisations.
These are the two ways in which logic functions, both are rational processes that do not include any extraordinariness in their processing. The generalisations do often contain some deviation at some stage which can not be reported by logical thinking. Therefore it is fairly impractical for the human behaviour which can not be defined ad drawn into abstractions.
With emotions in contrast there is no generalisation involved in the process of gaining knowledge. The three pillars which emotion is build up on are Intuition, Instinct and Emotional Intelligence.
Gaining knowledge through emotion is a very subjective way. It is a way for the individual and because of its subjectiveness it is not suitable for generalisations. Thins that are contained in emotion are such as feeling, the justice, sensual perception, past experience and those do create a consciousness in us, a knowledge in us, that lets us have opinions, male decisions, feel sympathy, be ambitious and various other values of a human.
In fact emotion is the way through information of the above mentioned kind is proceeded to let us be individual. All those feelings and gatherings, which of course are an important aspect of knowledge, do form the core in us, around which our personality is bended.
Emotions as faith, respect, dignity and liking are values that do determine whether one likes one or not. It is the basis for relationship of any kind. It actually is what creates “relation-webs” in life.
This is because the acquisition of knowledge through emotion is very personal and the knowledge of a human always is a factor for his personality. In other words everything a human gains by emotion is a feeling, knowledge of which affects his character towards something. If for example a young boy hits his finger with a hammer so that it broke and caused terrible pain. The this boy will have a certain attitude towards hammers and tools, although if he might have forgotten about the event in particular, it still remain as subconscious knowledge and the feeling or smell or fear related to the action.
After all emotion is what does form our personalities and create our characters by letting us know what is bad or good. Feelings or experiences interpreted emotionally do make up our preferences and our attitudes to anything.
Therefore it is clearly to be seen that emotion is something that can exist on its own and does exist in anybody. Also there is no real right or wring but what one distinguish as right or wrong. Logic on itself cannot always be put forward alone because it requires existent knowledge at many stages. This knowledge is also gained through emotion. To conclude one can say that logic and emotion sometimes work together quite well, whereas logic is more or less the objective process and emotion the subjective process of gaining knowledge.
