Inhaltsangabe

""Logic: Inductive and Deductive an Introduction to Scientific Method"" by Adam Leroy Jones is a comprehensive guide to the principles of logic and scientific reasoning. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on inductive reasoning and the second part on deductive reasoning. The author begins by introducing the concept of logic and its importance in scientific inquiry. He then delves into the various types of reasoning, starting with inductive reasoning, which involves drawing generalizations from specific observations. The book covers topics such as hypothesis formation, experimental design, and statistical analysis, all of which are essential components of inductive reasoning.The second part of the book focuses on deductive reasoning, which involves drawing conclusions based on a set of premises. The author explains the principles of deductive reasoning, including syllogisms, propositional logic, and predicate logic. He also discusses the importance of deductive reasoning in fields such as mathematics and computer science.Throughout the book, the author provides numerous examples and exercises to help readers understand the concepts and apply them to real-world situations. The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to readers with little or no background in logic or scientific method.Overall, ""Logic: Inductive and Deductive an Introduction to Scientific Method"" is an excellent resource for anyone interested in developing their critical thinking skills and understanding the principles of logic and scientific reasoning.1909.

It aims to present an outline of scientific method as briefly and as concretely as possible. It is not designed to serve as an introduction to general philosophy. I ts chief claim to novelty is in the arrangement of the subject matter. The traditional arrangement in which the deductive processes are presented first usually leaves with the student the impression that method is chiefly deduction, and that there is no very close connection between this and the rest of subject. The arrangement, which is here adopted, was selected on pedagogical grounds and not in the interests of any epistemological theory. The justification for dogmatic statements on disputed points is also pedagogical. Argument on such points in a text-book usually fails to interest the student and often tends to make him think that the whole subject is in an uncertain state and mostly a matter of opinion. Some subjects are treated much more briefly than they deserve, but I wished to keep them in due proportion with the rest. Fallacies are first discussed along with the processes with which they are connected, but they are all brought together in a later chapter. Many of the exercises are new, but I have also drawn freely from other text books.
