Question: If an action is logical, should we practice it!?
Logic doesn't state whether it is nice, kind, mean, or cruel!. Logic is not neutral either!. It simple states is logic!. With that said just because something is logical, should we practice it!?
If you need another logical solution to make that decision, what happens to the previous logical solution!? Is that less logical!? How many logical solutions do you need, to final be able to put something into practice with logical confidence!?
If there are too many conflicting logical solutions, then isn't the whole problem that the solution is trying to solve illogical!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Not necessarily!. It might be valid, while at the same time being "unsound!." Not all valid arguments reveal a truth!. All of the premises have to be true!.
"A deductive argument is said to be valid if and only if it takes a form that makes it impossible for the premises to be true and the conclusion nevertheless to be false!. Otherwise, a deductive argument is said to be invalid!.
A deductive argument is sound if and only if it is both valid, and all of its premises are actually true!. Otherwise, a deductive argument is unsound!."

There are 256 syllogistic forms!.
The valid syllogistic forms are
First figure: AAA, EAE, AII, EIO
Second figure: EAE, AEE, EIO, AOO
Third figure: IAI, AII, OAO, EIO
Fourth figure: AEE, IAI, EIO
In working out the valid forms, Aristotle made an assumption that
is rejected by most modern logicians, namely, that all terms denote
nonempty classes!. On this assumption, nine more forms turn out
valid in addition to the fifteen above!.

Therefore, of 256 possibilities, a total of only 24 are possibly correct!. The others are all false and are not to be followed!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
What exactly are you inhaling!?
Logic to one is illogical to another!. Logic is based on theories, the so called educated people making up these theories, people being the main word here!.
People even the educated, ones who make up the theories that develop into the logic of today, can be corrupt and the basic theory that money talks can and in some instances applies to well written prize winning papers that are used and taught by educators in todays top universities!.
The logic of yesterday does not apply today as the logic of today will not be used in the future!.
So in conclusion why beat are head against a brick wall!? Live however is logical to you!.!.!.!.!.
This does not make sense "then isn't the whole problem that the solution is trying to solve illogical!?"!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
