Yet, some people will even ask, whose thinking are you talking about, yours or mine? The implication is that there is no such thing as truth and that all ideas are merely opinions of individuals who should be doubted. This is called polylogism.

Polylogism is the idea that there are different systems of logic and that one system is just as good as another. This is untrue. Logic is about method, finding the correct methods for understanding reality. The rules of logic are universal in the sense that they apply in all situations. They are not limited and varied; they are simply true. For instance, the Law of Identity states that “A is A” which means that in all situations a thing is what it is. The Law of Excluded Middle states that a thing cannot be A and not A in any given context. It is either A or not A given the same context of human thought.

Here's a clue: anyone who says that logic does not work in gaining truth, is trying to keep you from gaining truth. Logic should be considered the “laws of thought”.

The term “laws of thought” means a uniformity by which all people think and reason. Such laws are natural and we do not have the power to change them. Every science pursues the natural laws of a specific area of study. Another definition: Logic is “the science of the necessary forms of thought.” A form of thought is something that remains constant while it can be made to hold various types of content.

A form of reasoning is diagramed below. If M is S and S is P then M is P. This syllogism is true regardless of the make-up of M, S or P.
