Chapter IV

Final Cause of Logical Order.

CONCLUSION

98. Logic in the Service of the Knowledge of Truth. -- The order, or internal systematization of the judgments and reasonings which constitute a science, is the intrinsic aim of logic.

But logical order, as such, does not ensure the attainment of truth, the final aim of the human mind. This is why the ultimate aim -- extrinsic, it is true -- of the logician is the certain knowledge of truth, which alone deserves the name of science.
