 "Logic is
the study of correct reasoning.
It includes both formal and informal
logic.
Formal logic is the study of deductively
valid inferences
or logical
truths.
It examines how conclusions follow from premises based
on the structure of arguments alone, independent of their topic and
content. Informal logic is associated with informal
fallacies, critical
thinking,
and argumentation
theory.
Informal logic examines arguments expressed in natural
language whereas
formal logic uses formal
language.
When used as a countable
noun,
the term "a logic" refers to a specific logical formal
system that
articulates a proof
system.
Logic plays a central role in many fields, such as philosophy, mathematics, computer
science,
and linguistics"

Critical thinking is a kind of thinking in which you question, analyse, interpret, evaluate and make
a judgement about
what you read, hear, say, or write. The term critical comes
from the Greek word kritikos meaning
“able to judge or discern”. Good critical thinking is about making
reliable judgements based on reliable information.
