Excerpt from The Problem of Logic
The present volume has grown up and taken shape under the chastening influences of Colleges teaching. No teacher of Logic would wish underestimate the value of the education he receives from his students; and since mu education has for nine years been advancing along these lines, my claim to have learnt Logic through teaching it may be accepted in sincerest good faith. A first and most grateful acknowledgement is due to my many fellow-workers at Hampstead (at the New College Centre, and at Westfield College) who by their doubts, difficulties, criticisms, and suggestions have had so much to do with the shaping of this book.
Bu there is a still more intimate sense in which the book is the work of many rather than of one. From the time when it was first decided to reconstruct the College lectures with a view to publication, I was privileged to enjoy the invaluable sympathy and assistance of Professor G. F. Stout. Professor Stout most kindly consented to read through these lectures, and returned them to me shortly afterwards accompanied by a small volume of criticisms. It would be hard to exaggerate the value of these criticisms. On such fundamental heads as the Laws of Thought, the interrelation of Categorical, Disjunctive, and Hypothetical Propositions, and the essential meaning of the Disjunctive and Hypothetical Judgments, the substance of Professor Stout's contentions was adopted, and will be easily recognized by all who are familiar with the Professor's logical views. Many extracts from these criticisms will be found in the present volume. Professor Stout has also allowed me to look through a large part of his own Class lectures in Logic, and has helped me in many other ways, not least through certain conversations which we have had together over fundamental logical principles.
Miss Klein's collaboration dates from the first revision of the work - from the spring of 1905. Since that date, every change in the treatment - and the reconstructions have been drastic - has been subjected to the friendliest but most unsparing criticism. No point of divergence between us but has been thoroughly discussed, and transmuted into a point of common agreement.
