Logic is usually presented as a tool of rational inquiry, however,many logicians in fact treat logic so that it does not serve us, but rathergoverns us  as rational beings we are subordinated to the logical laws weaspire to disclose. We denote the view that logic primarily serves us aslogicaserviens, while denoting the thesis that it primarily governs our reasoningaslogica dominans. We argue that treating logic aslogica dominansismisguided, for it leads to the idea of a “genuine” logic within a “genuine” language. Instead of this, we offer a naturalistic picture, according to whichthe only languages that exist are the natural languages and the artificiallanguages logicians have built. There is, we argue, no language beyondthese, especially none that would be a wholesome vehicle of reasoning likethe natural languages and yet be transparently rigorous like the artificialones. Logic is a matter of using the artificial languages as idealized modelsof the natural ones, whereby we pinpoint the laws of logic by means ofzooming in on a reflective equilibrium.
