Sectio I. On Logic as Used and as Taught: Whether Each Is a Science?
§ 1

§ 3
§ 4
§ 5
Teaching logic is truly and properly a science.— Concerning teaching logic there can be no doubt that it is truly and properly a science, because it has principles and evident conclusions. But if any of the Fathers at some time said that logic is not a science but a destruction, understand this not of logic which teaches the mode of knowing, but of the Sophistic which the pagan Philosophers abused against Catholics. You will say: Logic is called a mode of knowing. Therefore it is not a science. I deny the consequence, because the formal mode of knowing is truly and properly a science, because we are formally denominated knowers by it. You will say: It is commonly said to be absurd to seek at the same time science and the mode of knowing, but that mode of knowing is logic, therefore logic is not a science. It is answered that by the name “mode of knowing” logical science is understood, and by the name “science” the real sciences are understood, which it is absurd to seek unless logic has been premised.123
