Abstract

Human beings think, and to think, they use their brain and as well as cognition. To humans, thinking is one of the main processes in their day to day affairs, without which existence will be difficult or impossible. For instance to communicate humans use their thoughts. Logical thinking is to think on the basis of knowledge, what we know, and certainties, what we can prove. The logical or scientific approach to thinking relies on information about the world around us. From it, we can create the most wonderful inventions, manifestations and live peacefully with one another. Human beings communicate in three main ways namely; verbally, nonverbally and vocally. Humans think both positively and negatively. Conflicts can be classified as negative ways of thinking, and has always caused considerable damage to humans; both mentally and physically. Conflicts are on the increase all over the world, in fact in every second. Social, Economic, Political and Cultural differences are always the cause for increasing conflicts. An added impetus to the rise in conflicts around the world is less communicating skills as well as the problem of language barriers. Therefore, it is should be stated that in these circumstances clear and active communication is useful in thinking logically and could result in conflicts resolutions. The study looks at applied logical thinking and communication in resolving conflict and as well try to determine the philosophical perspectives of logical thinking, communication and conflict resolution. The main objective of this study is to find out the importance of logical thinking to conflict resolution as well as usefulness of communication to resolve conflicts. The study uses secondary data and is based on a philosophical approach. The study asserts that the use of logical thinking through the communication directly influence the conflict resolution.
