Excerpt from Elements of Logic: Together With an Introductory View of Philosophy in General, and a Preliminary View of the Reason

Logic ought to exhibit this other way likewise: it ought to inform us how the most original premises arise, and upon what basis they rest.

Other methods, indeed, have been abroad in the world, but without being systematically propounded as parts of Logic. Thus, the Platonic philosophy really contains a Logical development of the most original forms of human thought, springing out Of the intuitive faculty. And the Novum Organum Of Bacon contains a logical exposition of the method Of establishing first principles through the Observa tion Of phenomena.

Excerpt from Elements of Logic: Together With an Introductory View of Philosophy in General, and a Preliminary View of the Reason

The work here undertaken differs somewhat in its scope and design from systems of Logic which have hitherto been given to the world. The Aristotelian Logic is simply the method of deduction; and, as such, it is complete. Subsequent works, in so far as they have been strictly logical, have closely copied the great master, and have confined themselves to an exhibition of the deductive principles and processes. Now, the deductive method comprehends merely the laws which govern inferences or conclusions from premises previously established. These premises may, in their turn, be inferences from other premises, and so on, to a certain extent; and just so far this method is all sufficient. But it is evident that the evolution of premises and conclusions, and conclusions and premises, must have a limit. There must be premises which are not conclusions from other premises, but which arise in some other way.
