Excerpt from An Introductory Text-Book of Logic
In the present volume the author's aim has been to provide a text-book at once elementary and philosophical. More specifically, he has endeavoured, in the first place, to give an accurate exposition of the essentials of "the Traditional Logic"; in the second place, to connect the traditional doctrine with its Aristotelian fountainhead, - not only because of the value and clearness of Aristotle's own treatment (as compared with later accretions), but in order to make various doctrines and phrases intelligible, which in the ordinary text-book are simply "shot from a pistol" as it were; in the third place, to show the open door leading from the traditional doctrine into the more modern and more strictly philosophical treatment of the subject. The book is intended to stop short of giving what is supplied in Mr Bosanquet's Essentials of Logic (not to mention larger works), but to lead on naturally to that and to a serious study of "Modern Logic."

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. Drawing on Aristotle's classic writings on the subject, this introductory textbook on logic guides the reader through the fundamentals of logical thinking. Specifically, it aims to establish a clear understanding of logical theory and its practical applications. Beginning with a preliminary discussion on the overall purpose of logic, the book covers a wide range of topics, including the nature of terms and concepts, the structure and types of propositions, and the process of inference. It also examines the validity of syllogisms and the importance of avoiding fallacies. The author goes beyond the traditional boundaries of formal logic to explore the applications of logical principles to scientific method and the broader realm of human thought. This interdisciplinary approach offers an in-depth look at the role logic plays in shaping our understanding of the world around us and the nature of knowledge itself. Through its exploration of both theoretical and practical aspects, this book provides a comprehensive and engaging introduction to logic, making it an invaluable resource for students and anyone interested in the foundations of human reasoning.
