Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Print on Demand. This book presents an argument for the necessity of formal logic, or logical reasoning exclusively concerned with the relationships between ideas rather than with their content. The author first argues that there must be a standard of rationality, despite the claims of the empirical school to the contrary. The book then examines the judgment, the basic unit of thought, and finds that it is essentially rational, as it must always have a mediating ground between subject and predicate. This leads to a discussion of fallacies, which the author argues are always due to a lack of a middle term, even in immediate consequence and conviction. The author goes on to examine various objections to formal logic, such as its alleged narrowness and rigidity. The author argues that, on the contrary, formal logic has a vast field before it in the living facts of idiomatic expression, and that it is only when we go outside our data that our reasoning ceases to be formal. However, the author also argues that formal logic must be supplemented by an analysis of actual arguments and forms of speech, as human thought is intimately connected with language. Finally, the author argues that thought is always subject to the law of rationality. There is a single, immutable standard of Reason which is outside of, and above, proof. This law compels thought, and is the same in all forms of thought, human and divine. Throughout, the author argues that logic cannot supply rules for comparing and judging, but that in its theoretical form it is an exact science; but in its connection with human thought and speech it presents many problems and admits of progress. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…
