Essay Towards an Easy and Useful System of Logic (Classic Reprint)

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book takes on the challenge of bringing an element of coherence to the subject of logic. In it, the author posits that there are only four distinct areas of human knowledge to which logic can be usefully applied: mental and moral philosophy, political science, and religion. The author encourages readers to thoroughly understand the nature of these subjects and the type of evidence they can provide for logical reasoning. By clarifying the differences between how we think about these four areas and how we think about, for example, mathematics or natural philosophy, readers can avoid logical errors that may otherwise lead to faulty conclusions. The author suggests that until very recently, many scholars incorrectly believed that logical reasoning could be applied uniformly across all subjects, and that this mistaken notion led to many errors in reasoning and slowed the accumulation of true knowledge. The author takes pains to separate out the different valid types of reasoning associated with each different subject, and in doing so provides valuable guidance for scholars and laypeople alike.
