Summary

This quote implies that logic alone is not enough to discover truth. It suggests that one must first have an intuitive or innate understanding of truth before using logic to confirm or clarify it. In other words, logic is an effective tool for reasoning and validating truths, but it is dependent on an initial recognition or knowledge of truth that comes from a source beyond logic, such as intuition or experience.
