LOGIC AND CULTURE
Momčilo Stojković
Faculty of Philosophy, Niš
Abstract. Logic and culture, two different and, some would
say, incompatible (noncorresponding) terms, are still connected with logic
of values. In other words, logical conclusion (regardless how much it is
based on reality judgments), is influenced (determined) by a given culture
and a system of values within that culture. Logic does deal with reality
judgments, but logic of values deals with value (normative) judgments and
those judgments neither claim nor refuse that something is(or isn't), but
they represent demands referring to people to do or not to do something
in order to accomplish the goals (values) that community longs for. Value
judgments are not, like reality judgments are, true or false, they are
right or wrong. Logical judgment and conclusion itself is determined by
the goals/values of a given culture.
Key words: Logic, culture, logic of values, reality judgments,
value judgments, conclusion
LOGIKA I KULTURA
Logika i kultura, dva raznorodna i, reklo bi se, nekompatibilna (nekorespondentna)
pojma, ipak su međusobno povezana logikom vrednovanja. Drugim rečma, na
logičko zaključivanje (koliko god se temeljilo na stvarnosnim sudovima),
(odlučujuće) utiče data kultura i njen (kulture) sistem vrednosti. Logika
se, istina, bavi stvarnosnim sudovima, ali se logika vrednovanja bavi vrednosnim
(normativnim) sudovima, koji ne tvrde niti odriču da nešto jeste (odnosno
nije) nego predstavljaju zahteve upućene ljudima da nešto čine ili ne čine
kako bi se ostvarili ciljevi (vrednosti) kojima zajednica teži. Vrednosni
sudovi nisu, poput stvarnosnih, istiniti ili neistiniti nego ispravni ili
neispravni. Ciljevima/vrednostima date kulture određeno je i samo logičko
rasuđivanje i zaključivanje.
Ključne reči: logika, kultura, logika vrednovanja, realni
sudovi, vrednosni sudovi, zaključak
