  • Logic is a branch of philosophy that studies the principles of correct reasoning. It's a foundational discipline for many fields, including mathematics, computer science, and linguistics. Here's a comprehensive list of various branches and sub-disciplines within logic:

1. Classical Logic

  • Propositional Logic (or Sentential Logic)
  • First-Order Logic (or Predicate Logic)
  • Second-Order and Higher-Order Logic
  • Syllogistic Logic (Aristotelian Logic)

2. Non-Classical Logics

  • Modal Logic (Necessity and Possibility)
  • Temporal Logic (Time)
  • Deontic Logic (Duty and Obligation)
  • Epistemic Logic (Knowledge and Belief)
  • Doxastic Logic (Belief)
  • Conditional Logic (If-Then Statements)

3. Mathematical Logic

  • Set Theory
  • Proof Theory
  • Model Theory
  • Recursion Theory (or Computability Theory)
  • Constructive Logic (or Intuitionistic Logic)
  • Category Theory in Logic

4. Philosophical Logic

  • Philosophical Analysis of Logical Concepts
  • Logic and Language
  • Logic and Metaphysics
  • Logic and Epistemology

5. Symbolic Logic

  • Formal Syntax and Semantics
  • Symbolic Representation of Logical Formulas
  • Boolean Logic

6. Formal Systems

  • Axiomatic Systems
  • Formal Languages
  • Formal Proof Systems
  • Theorem Proving

7. Applied Logic

  • Informal Logic (Argumentation Theory)
  • Logic of Natural Language
  • Critical Thinking
  • Fallacies and Logical Errors
  • Rhetoric and Persuasion

8. Computational Logic

  • Logic Programming
  • Automated Reasoning
  • Computational Complexity of Logical Theories
  • Decision Procedures

9. Quantificational Logic

  • Existential and Universal Quantification
  • Quantifier Scope and Interpretation

10. Fuzzy Logic

  • Multi-valued Logic
  • Degrees of Truth
  • Applications in Control Systems and Artificial Intelligence

11. Paraconsistent Logic

  • Handling Contradictory Information
  • Dialetheism (True Contradictions)

12. Relevance Logic

  • Logical Relevance in Implication
  • Avoiding Paradoxes of Material Implication

13. Quantum Logic

  • Logic for Quantum Mechanics
  • Non-classical Probability Theory

14. Dialogic Logic

  • Logic of Dialogue and Argumentation
  • Interactive Proof Systems

15. History of Logic

  • Study of Historical Development and Figures in Logic

16. Bivalent and Multivalent Logics

  • Logics with More than Two Truth Values
  • Intermediate Truth Values

17. Bayesian Logic

  • Logic Based on Bayesian Probability

18. Inductive Logic

  • Reasoning from Specific to General
  • Probabilistic Reasoning

19. Counterfactual Reasoning

  • Logic of Hypotheticals and "What If" Scenarios

20. Formal Ethics

  • Deontic Logic Applied to Ethical and Moral Reasoning

Logic is a broad and diverse field that continues to evolve, adapting to new philosophical questions, mathematical developments, and computational challenges. It serves as a fundamental framework for clear thinking, problem-solving, and the pursuit of knowledge across disciplines.
