Sinopsis

Excerpt from The Modalist or the Laws of Rational Conviction

This is all that could be expected. A pretty thorough indoctrination in logic can be effected in connection with forty or fifty class exercises; and half as many might suffice for imparting the rudiments. Or may we say that the minimum of required work should include not less than thirty recita tions, or class-exercises; after which the young men might be left to their own election as to the further prosecution of this study?

Excerpt from The Modalist or the Laws of Rational Conviction

This text-book was written under the conviction that the most useful instruction is that which is enforced by the most thorough explanations. It is an attempt to connect the formulas of logic with principles, the ultimate character of which will become evident to the faithful student. Besides, the author had an ambition to add something to the science by giving permanent form to views which have been held and taught for years.

Logical doctrine and praxis do not now have that place in education which they once had, when the university curriculum was chiefly occupied with the literature and the philosophy of the ancients. But we do not complain of this. Logic receives a fair share of attention in our colleges. In almost all of them it is a required study for at least one term; while the larger institutions offer advanced courses in theories of knowledge and belief.

This is all that could be expected. A pretty thorough indoctrination in logic can be effected in connection with forty or fifty class exercises; and half as many might suffice for imparting the rudiments. Or may we say that the minimum of required work should include not less than thirty recitations, or class-exercises; after which the young men might be left to their own election as to the further prosecution of this study?

So far as we know, Logic is never taught without the help of a text-book; though professors differ in the degree of their reliance upon this aid.
