Logic The Greek word logos, meaning reason, is the origin of the term logic--logike (techen, pragmateia, or episteme, understood), as the name of a science or art, first occurs in the writings of the Stoics. Aristotle, the founder of the science, designates it as analytic, and the Epicureans use the term canonic. From the time of Cicero, however, the word logic is used almost without exception to designate this science. The names dialectic and analytic are also used.

Human beings have certainly been thinking logically since before the dawn of recorded history. But the academic discipline named logic dates back only to the 4th century B.C., to the city of Athens, Greece. For it was there that the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle (384-322 B.C.) wrote the first known treatises of logical theory and began teaching the first logic classes in history.
