Abstract

The apparatus used in mathematical logic allows mathematically rigorous work with reasoning, objectively proving their truth or falsity. The skills that arise in the study and use of mathematical logic allow to build correct conclusions, conduct evidence-based rhetoric, exposing the falsity of the rhetoric of opponents who do not possess such skills and build their argumentation intuitively.
