So what are logical cpu cores (as opposed to physical cpu cores)?

I was googling about how I could find the number of CPUs in a machine and I found some posts but I am confused as some mentioned that you get the logical cores vs physical cores etc.
So what is the difference between logical and physical cores and is there a way I could get the physical cores only? Or does it make sense to include logical cores in our count?
