Excerpt from Inductive Logic

It has been my aim, in the following pages, to present the essential features of inductive logic, in the hope that this work may prove a fitting supplement to the elementary courses in formal or deductive logic. The impression is too often left in the minds of those who have pursued the study of deductive logic exclusively that the formal laws of the syllogism constitute the entire body of logical doctrine, and that reasoning consists solely in drawing conclusions from given premises. There is danger here lest reasoning become associated with an artificial procedure that seems to find its proper sphere in the solution of verbal quibbles and logical puzzles. In the actual experiences of life, we do not find our premises ready made. They are the result of wide observation and patient investigation and experiment. We challenge premises that are given, and weigh their significance. We meet particular facts before we do the general laws.

Excerpt from Inductive Logic

Lubbock; and especially the different methods which have led to important discoveries in the various sciences. This applies not only to the illustrations in the text proper, but also to those which I have collected in Chapter XX. Under the head of Logical Exercises. It seems to me, moreover, that inasmuch as the principles of inductive investigation are in such accord with the scientific Spirit of our age, their importance as a logical discipline cannot be too highly valued.
