A System of Logic, Ratiocinative and Inductive: Being a Connected View of the Principles of Evidence and the Methods of Scientific Investigation (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from A System of Logic, Ratiocinative and Inductive: Being a Connected View of the Principles of Evidence and the Methods of Scientific Investigation

Truths are known to us in two ways some are known directly, and of themselves; some through the medium of other truths. The firmer are the subject of Intuition, or Consciousness; the latter, of Inference. The truths known by intuition are the original premisses h'om which all others are inferred. Our assent to the conclusion being grounded upon the truth of the premisses, we never could arrive at any knowledge by reasoning, unless something could be known antecedently to all reasoning.
