Excerpt from Footnotes to Formal Logic
The psychologist, on the one hand, and the metaphysician and the epistemologist, on the other, have crowded our present day discussions in the field of pure logic into a very narrow and uncomfortable position. NO sooner does the logician raise the question as to the origin and nature of the thinking process, than the psychologist warns him that he is trespassing in fields. Not his. Especially is this true when we venture to discuss such questions as the process whereby judgment develops into infer ence or is depressed into conception. This we are told is not logic, but genetic psychology. On the other hand, when the logician raises the question as to the nature of knowledge in gen eral, he is again rebuked for passing into the domain of meta physics, epistemology or ontology. It has been said that if the logician should accept these restrictions which his neighbors have imposed upon his field, there would be little left of logic, except a mere collection of misleading formulae coupled with a little ele mentary grammar.

Footnotes to Formal Logic (Classic Reprint)
Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book concerns itself with the value and role of formal logic and whether there is room for it in contemporary thought. As the author was a university professor, responsible for teaching formal logic, they sought to determine and explore its usefulness to refute the claim that it is no longer of service to modern philosophy. Within the book, the author presents the philosophies, theories, criticisms, and benefits of formal logic against the backdrop of the varied philosophical and logical thought of history. By exploring how formal logic has adapted and persisted throughout philosophical history, the author argues that while we cannot turn away from the concrete and look solely at abstract concepts, neither can we turn away from abstraction completely. Formal logic remains a vital tool, essential to teaching sound reasoning, useful in the exploration of philosophy, sharpening thought, and aiding in the expression of thought, even if it is not a complete system and does have limitations. 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. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781330291788_0
