An Outline Of The Necessary Laws Of Thought A Treatise On Pure And Applied Logic Second Edition Much Enlarged PDF Download

Excerpt from An Outline of the Necessary, Laws of Thought: A Treatise on Pure and Applied Logic Some account of the exact position which this work pretends to occupy amidst a crowd of valuable treatises on the same subject, may not be an unfitting introduction to its pages. The system of Pure Logic or Analytic that has been universally accepted for centuries past, is very defective as an instrument for the analysis of natural reasoning. Arguments that commend themselves to any untaught mind as valid and practically important, have no place in a system that professedly includes all reasoning whatever; and an attempt to reduce to its technical forms the first few pages of any scientific work, has generally ended in failure and disgust. The consequence has been that the more popular writers on Logic have begun to treat its strictly technical parts with a certain coyness and reserve.
