Never stated it was optional. Just a methodology. logic- "branch of philosophy that studies the metods and principles of correct reasoning."
ethics- "area of philosophy that analyzes the good and right thing to do."
metaphysics- "area of philosophy studying what is real"
Aesthetics-"area of philosophy that studies beauty especially in the arts."
Classic Philosophical Questions- eight edition by James A. Gould
"This we do affirm - that if truth is to be sougtht in every division of philosophy, we must, before all else, possess trustworthy principles and methods for the discernment of truth. Now the Logical branch is that which includes theory of criteria and proofs: so it is with this that we ought to make our beginnings." - SEXTUS EMPIRICUS
"Bad reasoning as well as good reasoning is possible; and this fact is the foundation of the practical side of logic."-CHARLES SANDERS PEIRCE
