Logic plays a crucial role in the process of thinking, analyzing facts, evaluating situations, etc. Many philosophers, psychologists, and others with a scientific background have mentioned the great importance of logic, emphasizing its everyday and timeless applications. However, logic, like other dimensions of human cognition, has its limits. In your perspective, what are the limits of logic?
hello ,
I do believe that there are 4 limits of logic:
1)partial truth
2)language
3)uncertainty
4)human perception
Thank you.

Thank you for your response. The aspects you mentioned highlight some intriguing limits of logic, making room for further exploration.
From "pre-historic" time of internet, from last millenium, it is said that (in):
'Gödel and the Limits of Logic' byJohn W. Dawson Jr.
Vol. 280, No. 6 (JUNE 1999), pp. 76-81 (6 pages), Scientific American,
""Kurt Gödel showed that mathematical thinking cannot be encapsulated in a formal axiomatic reasoning system. He proved that any formal symbolic system of axioms is either incomplete or inconsistent.""
that is, the last pair of words implies that everyday-logic is quite different from scientific-logic. The former might frequently be seen as 'complete and consistent' while this is not quite the case with the later.
Thank you for your response. Yes, logic applies the principles of mathematical thinking, contextualizing them in everyday and scientific realities. However, these variations of logic have mutual influence, being interconnected through universal regularities, and computational reasoning.
