Excerpt from Reason, Thought and Language or the Many and the One: A Revised System of Logical Doctrine, in Relation to the Forms of Idiomatic Discourse
1. IF it be the case, as an eminent logician of the new school complains, that throughout the modern textbooks Logic is in a chaotic condition, exhibiting an astonishing diversity of opinion about its province and methods, there may be room for yet another treatise, which shall at least attempt to work out in detail a single and consistent view. The ideal which I set before me is that of a Logic which shall be more consistently formal than the Aristotelian and scholastic tradition, yet in intimate touch with the realities of human thought and language.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an argument for the necessity of formal logic, or logical reasoning exclusively concerned with the relationships between ideas rather than with their content. The author first argues that there must be a standard of rationality, despite the claims of the empirical school to the contrary. The book then examines the judgment, the basic unit of thought, and finds that it is essentially rational, as it must always have a mediating ground between subject and predicate. This leads to a discussion of fallacies, which the author argues are always due to a lack of a middle term, even in immediate consequence and conviction. The author goes on to examine various objections to formal logic, such as its alleged narrowness and rigidity. The author argues that, on the contrary, formal logic has a vast field before it in the living facts of idiomatic expression, and that it is only when we go outside our data that our reasoning ceases to be formal. However, the author also argues that formal logic must be supplemented by an analysis of actual arguments and forms of speech, as human thought is intimately connected with language. Finally, the author argues that thought is always subject to the law of rationality. There is a single, immutable standard of Reason which is outside of, and above, proof. This law compels thought, and is the same in all forms of thought, human and divine. Throughout, the author argues that logic cannot supply rules for comparing and judging, but that in its theoretical form it is an exact science; but in its connection with human thought and speech it presents many problems and admits of progress.
