Modern logic has Wldergone some remarkable developments in the last
hun dred years. These have contributed to the extraordinary use of
formal logic which has become essentially the concern of
mathematicians. This has led to attempts to identify logic with
formal logic. The claim has even been made that all non-formal
reasoning, to the extent that it cannot be formalized, no longer
belongs to logic. This conception leads to a genuine impoverishment
of logic as well as to a narrow conception of reason. It means that
as soon as demonstrative proofs are no longer available reason will
no longer dominate. Even the idea of the 'reasonable' becomes
foreign to logic and such expres sions as 'reasonable decisions',
'reasonable choice' or 'reasonable hypotheses' would be put aside
as meaningless. The domain of action, including method ology and
everything that is given over to deliberation or controversy -
i.e., foreign to formal logic - would become a battleground where
necessarily the reason of the strongest would always prevail."
