The title "Father of Logic" is commonly attributed to **Aristotle**, the ancient Greek philosopher who laid the foundation for formal logic. Aristotle developed the first formal system of deductive reasoning known as **syllogistic logic**, which focuses on the relationships between premises and conclusions. His works on logic, primarily in his book **"Organon,"** greatly influenced subsequent philosophical and logical theories, making him a central figure in the development of logical thought.
While other cultures and thinkers made contributions to logic, Aristotle is recognized as the foundational figure in Western philosophy and logic due to his systematic and comprehensive treatment of reasoning.
