Excerpt from The Science of Logic, Vol. 2 of 2: An Inquiry Into the Principles of Accurate Thought and Scientific Method
200. Transition to Part IV. - We have now completed our examination of the formal aspect of the reasoning process, and of the rules that guarantee its formal correctness or validity (Part III.). But the object of all reasoning, of all science and philosophy in fact, is to arrive at a certain knowledge of truth; and, to secure this, it is not enough that our reasoning processes be correct or valid formally: the judgments involved in them must, furthermore, be all both true and certain.
Truth is, as we saw (9, 79), contained in the mental act of judgment, to which the operations both of inference and of conception are thus subsidiary. An analysis of the material or "truth" aspect of inference will therefore, of necessity, direct our attention once more to the judgments of which our inferences are composed, and to the concepts or ideas which enter into our judgments (Parts I. and II.) After having separately examined each of the three mental operations, of conception, judgment, and inference, our next concern is to inquire how we reach true judgments, especially those true universal judgments which constitute scientific knowledge: how, in other words, we are to exercise those three mental operations on the data of knowledge to the best advantage for the acquiring of truth: how' we are to regulate and co-ordinate those mental acts, conception, judgment, and reasoning, in exploring the various departments of the know-able universe. This portion of logical doctrine is variously described as applied logic, methodology, or the science of logical method.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating realm of human knowledge, exploring the methods and processes we use to discover and prove truth. It examines the interplay between analysis and synthesis, the two pillars of scientific inquiry, and shows how they work together in various fields, from mathematics and physics to philosophy and the human sciences. Taking us on a journey through the history of ideas, the author highlights how different eras have emphasized different approaches to knowledge. The book critiques the modern tendency to prioritize the methods of the physical sciences, arguing for a more balanced approach that recognizes the unique challenges and methods of disciplines like history, ethics, and social sciences. By shedding light on the diverse pathways to truth, this book equips readers with valuable tools for critical thinking and navigating the complexities of knowledge across various domains. Ultimately, it underscores the enduring power of logic and methodical inquiry in our quest for understanding the world and ourselves.
