processes of pure thinking should be conducted; the
science of the formation and application of general
notions; the science of generalization, judgment,
classification, reasoning, and systematic arrangement; the
science of correct reasoning.
[1913 Webster]
Logic is the science of the laws of thought, as
thought; that is, of the necessary conditions to
which thought, considered in itself, is subject.
--Sir W.
Hamilton.

Note: Logic is distinguished as pure and applied.
“Pure
logic is a science of the form, or of the formal laws,
of thinking, and not of the matter. Applied logic
teaches the application of the forms of thinking to
those objects about which men do think.” --Abp.
Thomson.
