Sectio Decima septima. Logica.

LOgica est ars recte disserendi: Ipsius objectum sunt tres mentis ••perationes; Apprehensio, Judicium ••ut Affirmatio, & Illatio. Docet ••eritatem illarum operationum in ea∣••um cum ipsis objectis conformitate esse positam; ut composita haec ap∣prehensio, Deus Omnipotens, est vera, ••uia apprehendo Deum, ut reipsa est omnipotentem: Quod reliquis operationibus applicari facile potest.

Duo praecipua Logicae principia sunt ista, Dictum de omni, & Dictum ••e nullo: Prius significat quicquid ge∣neraliter affirmatur de re quapiam, affirmari idem posse de omnibus sub eadem contentis, ut si dicam, omne animal est vivens, licebit dicere om∣nis volucris est vivens. Posterius

••nnuit, quicquid generaliter negatur de quapiam re, negari posse idem de omnibus eadem comprehensis; ut si dicam, Nullum animal est lapis; lice∣bit etiam dicere, Nulla volucris est lapis; Nullus homo est lapis, &c.

Logica docet artem conficiendi Syl∣logismi, qui constat tribus propositio∣nibus: Quarum duae primae si semel admittantur, tertia necessario admitti debet, quia jam tacite admissa est ab eo qui duas primas admisit, ut patet in hoc Syllogismo, Omnis homo est animal, Petrus est homo, ergo, Pe∣trus est animal.

Logica congenita est humano gene∣ri, cum nihil aliud sit quam facultatis nostrae rationalis exercitium. Artifi∣cialis Logica sunt praecepta quaedam hanc facultatem juvantia.
