Excerpt from Logic, or the Science of Inference: Systematic View of the Principles of Evidence, and the Methods of Inference in the Various Departments of Human Knowledge
The following pages comprise an attempt to systematise the various forms of inference engaged, either in the con struction of science, or in the generation of opinion and belief. Notwithstanding the diversity of the subject, the author has endeavoured to meet its widest requirements; not neglecting, while he has devoted the greater portion of the treatise to the consideration of the laws and methods of inference in their simplest and most complex combina tions, to include in his design a description of the different subject-matter on which they are ordinarily employed, and the foundations on which their processes ultimately rest. If, to views so discursive, he has been able to impart any thing like systematic completeness, the merit is due not so much to him as to the excellent treatises which have already elaborated distinct portions of the subject and guided him through much of his labour.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the history and complexities of human reasoning, logic, and mathematical proof. The author begins with the earliest Greek philosophers, following the evolution of formal logic through the development of science and mathematics. The text follows the history of logic through the contributions of Aristotle, Descartes, and Locke, while examining the relationships between metaphysical and material qualities and their impact on inductive and deductive modes of inference. The book argues that, rather than seeing reason as the primary mode of understanding, logic is a vital tool in conjunction with experience for achieving true knowledge. This interplay allows us to move beyond the limitations of our own cognitive processes and gain a deeper comprehension of our world.
