Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Elements of Logic, Vol. 1: In Four Books
If all the human sciences, that concerning man is certainly the most worthy of man, and the most necessary part of knowledge. We find ourselves in tlus world surrounded with a variety of objects we have powers and faculties fitted to deal with them, and are happy or miserable in proportion as we know how to frame a right judgment of things, and shape our actions agreeably to the circumstances in which we are placed. NO study, therefore, is more important than that which introduces us to the knowledge of ourselves. Hereby we become acquainted With the extent and capacity of the human mind and learning to distinguish what oh jects it is suited to, and in what manner it must proceed. In order to compass its ends, we arrive by degrees, at thatjustness and truth of understanding, which is the great perfection of a rational being. Sec. Gradattons of Perfection in Things. If we look attentively into things, and survey them in their full extent, we see them rising one above ano ther in various degrees of eminence. Among the ina nimate parts of matter, some exhibit nothing worthy our attention their parts seem as it were jumbled together by mere chance,nor can we discover any beau ty, order, or regularity in their composition. In others, we discern the fines: arrangement, and a certain ele gance of contexture, that makes us affix to them a no tion of worth and excellence. Thus metals, and pre cious stones, are conceived as far surpassing those nu formed masses of earth, that lie every where exposed to view. If we trace nature onward, and pursue her through the vegetable and animal kingdoms, we find her still multiplying her perfections, and rising, by a just gradation, from mere mechanism to perception.

Excerpt from The Elements of Logic, Vol. 1: In Four Books
Sir,
If I lake this opportunity of publishing to the world the esteem I have for a character to which learning is so greatly indebted, I hope you will not think yourself injured by such a declaration from a man that honors you, and who looks upon the liberty of putting the following work under your patronage, as one of the happy incidents of his life.
From the first moment I formed the design of it, I had it in my thoughts to address it to you; and, indeed, what could be more natural, than that I should be ambitions of inscribing a treatise upon the elements of philosophy, to one, who has so eminently distinguished himself by his extensive knowledge in that, as well as all the other branches of human learning?
Your great abilities in every kind, have deservedly recommended you to the notice of your king and country, and occasioned your being courted and importuned to accept of those high offices of state, which others pursue with so much eagerness, and find it often difficult to obtain, by all the arts and endeavors of ambition. Nor have your talents been confined to the view of your country alone. Foreign nations have seen and admired you, and still speak with the greatest applauses of your wise and able conduct, when it was your province to act as a British minister abroad.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book advances the quest for self-knowledge by meticulously deconstructing the components of understanding and providing a framework for their examination. After elucidating how our most basic perceptions are formed, the author, a renowned expert in the field, explores the subsequent and increasingly complex operations of the mind. The concepts of imagination and memory, vital to the retention and manipulation of ideas, are given due consideration, as is the all-important distinction between simple and complex ideas. The book concludes with a masterful examination of abstraction and comparison, processes that enable perception of relationships between ideas. This book is an archive of foundational insights into the intricate workings of the human mind, an invaluable resource for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of themselves and their surroundings. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781330373354_0
