		<description><![CDATA[13. Truth. Our last reason for studying logic is the simplest and most important of all. It is that logic helps us to find truth, and truth is its own end: it is worth knowing for its own sake. Logic helps us to find truth, though it is not sufficient of itself to find truth. It helps [...]]]></description>

But logic has no &#8220;inner limits&#8221;: like math, it never breaks down. Just as 2 plus 2 are unfailingly 4, so if A is B and B is C, then A is unfailingly C. Logic is timeless and unchangeable.

We need authorities because no individual can discover everything autonomously.

As a best-selling modern logic text says, &#8220;the success of democracy depends, in the end, on the reliability of the judgments we citizens make, and hence upon our capacity and determination to weigh arguments and evidence rationally.&#8221; As Thomas Jefferson said, &#8220;In [...]]]></description>
