The paper tries to answer the question why contemporary (Slovak) undergraduate students have difficulty with moral dilemmas. According to the author the reason is the lack of classical moral stories in their education. First, he takes as an example the Plotinus’ One (En. 3,2,8) and shows how his moral story, trivial at first glance, is carefully structured and leads to a non-trivial inference. Then author turns to famous Plato’s “slave boy passage” from Menoś dialogue (82b-86c) to point out how our understanding works. Finally the author tries to figure out how important the classical moral stories can be in developing our interpretation and decision making skills, and argues that student’s low ability of moral dilemmas of understanding is a consequence of the absence of clever moral stories in previous education.

Present paper analyses the use of the word „logic“ in utterances of lawyers. A lawyer does not use this word just to designate the rational nature of his reasoning process but also to persuade his addressees that his reasoning is not set up arbitrarily. Although motivation of the first kind of the usage is triggered by correct semantic insight it happens frequently that the lawyer’s „logic“ designates something else than the process of his reasoning. It designates just the outcome of the reasoning but not the way how it was created. Thus the meaning of „logic“ shifts from formal relations between concepts to their material (substantial) relations which are conveyed through observation of ordinary course of factual events. However if we wanted to restore the original meaning of „logic“ in these cases, we could do it in the following way: to the concept/conclusion designated as „logical“ we add all necessary conditions of its logical validity. Example given in this paper indicates this restoration method may secure new refutation strategies against such concept/conclusion. The paper also tries to identify why lawyers use „logic“ as a kind of persuasive word. It seems to be plausible they do so because they intuitively suppose that logical operations inevitably lead to true conclusions.
