Full Idea
Through much of the 20th century the conception of logic was inherited from Frege and Russell, as knowledge of a body of logical truths, as arithmetic or geometry was a knowledge of truths. This is odd, and a historical anomaly.
Gist of Idea
The view of logic as knowing a body of truths looks out-of-date

A Reaction
Interesting. I have always taken this idea to be false. I presume logic has minimal subject matter and truths, and preferably none at all.
