Logika is the art of thinking, along with the concept that, in order to judge the correctness of an idea, one should judge the thought process behind the idea.
Logika is the principle that logic, the very tool we used to create the world of mathematics and conquer the realm of science, is more than capable of solving our everyday problems and showing us how to live happy and peaceful lives.
Finally, logika is to never look at an idea as being good or bad, but to look at the reasoning behind the idea as being logical or illogical.
I designed this site for several reasons:

here is a little text to explain the origins of the word Logika:
I was reflecting about society, as many of us do from time to time, and I noticed one gigantic flaw in the solutions people come up with to improve society. When one takes a look at religion, politics, and all other philosophies about how society should be, one tends to notice that they seem to fall under the same definition: a fixed set of rules depicting how society should be. Rules... rules... Then I asked myself: how do you tell if these rules are sound and valid?
Almost all people would jump at the same answer: you look at the arguments for the rule, the arguments against the rule, and weigh it out. This is an extremely poor answer, for in this case, whether a rule is good are not is something purely subjective. It depends solely on the point of view of the individual contemplating the problem, and such points of view vary greatly from person to person.
But what if you don't want to have a different rules for every person and for every point of view? What if you want a society that uniformly lives by the same set of rules? Simple. You get people together and vote on it. You apply democracy. And thus democracy is the grand saviour of our society, is it not?
Of course it is. After all, two thousand years ago, democracy informed us that the universe was composed of four elements: fire, wind, earth and water. Six hundred years ago, democracy reassured us that the earth was flat and that it was the center of the universe. Back in the year 2000, we knew thanks to democracy that making Mr. G. W. Bush the most powerful man in the world would have no downside at all...
As you can see, democracy is by no means a good way to measure whether a decision is good or not. So then just what is a good way to decide such things?
For that, I'll stick to a domain where democracy is of no use whatsoever: Science. When a mathematical formula is presented, do we gather people around a vote on it? Fortunately no. Do we look at the pros and cons behind the formula? No. We look at the reasoning behind the formula, and judge it based upon that reasoning. And what allows us to decide whether that reasoning is ultimately correct or not? A little something that most people don't use too often in their everyday lives: logic.
Hence the noun I invented: logika.
