Sundar Sarukkai’s New Book Explains Logic for a Digital World

Sundar Sarukkai has written a book about thinking clearly in the digital world.

It starts by explaining important ideas such as logic, rationality and inference.

Logic helps us use information to reach a conclusion.

The book compares some Western and Indian ways of explaining logic.

Western examples often use numbers and measurements.

Indian Nyaya philosophy uses a practical example involving cooked rice.

You do not need to check every grain of rice.

If a few grains are cooked, you can infer that all the rice is cooked.

This shows that logical thinking does not always depend on mathematics.
