  1. Back in the day pre-2010 the standard way to introduce "logic" was to begin by saying things like: its the most general even universal structure of thought, reason, truth. That is logic is a highly abstract structure that all thinking and reasoning must conform to. So any person to be making sense through speech on any subject must conform to the laws rules principles of logic, and any subject theory science must first conform to the laws rules principles of logic in talk about the world, reality what ever. If some reasoning does not so conform, then regardless of any empirical claims, feelings and so on, the reasoning can be rejected. Students might just write this down in there notes and find it in logic text books, and treat it as just something they have to learn and memorise in the course, and to pass an exam. But its must also be intuitive because if you begin, not with these assertions, but by saying there are many different types of logic many different logic systems, in my experience they all protest. They have a prior intuition before the the class, that the idea of many logics is problematic. But if you say logic and reason can change from person to person, place to place, and between historical times, they also seem to have an intuition that this is the case too. Thus I suppose they possess two opposed intuitions, hold two contradictory intuitions in the same mind and same person. Not so intuitive is whether logic is absolutely independent of content, that is the various examples that are placed in the logic form. It does not matter what the examples are, they mealy show how to use logic for thinking about things in general. Examples mealy teach logical form and any examples will do. Back in the 2000's this view was challenged by post modern left thinkers, at the time it was feminism and feminists that pushed for the rejection of any universal logical form eg what they described as "logocentrism". A Critique of Plato and his influence on Western patriarchal thought I guess. I brought a new logic book from the local book shop yesterday. its called "The Art of Logic: How to Make Sense of a World that Doesn't", by Eugenia Cheng (2018). It seems things have moved on with logic text books. You're gonna love 'et. I leave you to consider what this mean for Law and Legal Reasoning. Enjoy.
