Synopsis

""Elements of Logic"" is a comprehensive guide to the principles and methods of logical reasoning, written by the renowned 19th-century philosopher and theologian Richard Whately. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the nature of logic, the principles of deductive and inductive reasoning, the use of language in argumentation, and the analysis of fallacies and other errors in reasoning. Whately's approach emphasizes the practical application of logical principles to real-world problems, and he provides numerous examples and exercises to help readers develop their skills in logical thinking. Whether you are a student of philosophy, a professional in a logic-intensive field, or simply interested in improving your reasoning abilities, ""Elements of Logic"" is an invaluable resource.1875. Whately, Archbishop of Dublin, treatise on Logic comprising the substance of the article in the Encyclopedia Metropolitana. De Morgan wrote in 1860 that Whately had restored the study of logic in England. Whateley's achievement was not so much in logic as in moral metalogic; he explained what logicians should have been doing.... Logic, said Whateley, is entirely conversant about language, and it is only as reasoning is expressed in language that logic can study it. The Contents are divided into the following four books: Analytical Outline of the Science; Sythnthetical Compendium; Of Fallacies; and Dissertation on the Province of Reasoning.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

You yourself also, I have reason to believe, have forgotten the greater part of the assistance you have afforded in the course of conversations on the subject; as I have found more than once, that ideas which I distinctly remember to have received from you, have not been recognised by you .when read or repeated. As far, however, as I can recollect, though there is no part of the following pages in which I have not, more or less, received valuable suggestions from you, I believe you have contributed less to the Analytical Outline, and to the Treatise on Fallacies, and more, to the subjoined Dissertation, than to the rest of theW ork. I take this opportunity of publicly declaring, that as, on the one hand, you are not responsible for any thing contain ed in this Work, so, on the other hand, should you ever favor the world with a publication of your own on the subject, the coincidence which will doubtless be found in it with many things here brought forward as my own, is not to be regarded as any indication of plagiarism, at least on your side. Believe me to be, My dear Lord, Your obliged and affectionate Pupil andF riend, RICHARD WHATELY.

Présentation de l'éditeur

In the present edition, a few insertions, and alterations of expression, in some places, have been introduced. In this and in the preceding edition, several passages have been transferred from the places they formerly occupied, to others which appeared more suitable. And a brief, but, I trust, clear exposure has been added (in I ntrod. 4, and B. IV. Ch. I. I, 2) of the untenable character of some objections which have been of late years revived, in a somewhat new form, against the utility of Science generally, against the syllogistic theory, and against the explanations given in this treatise, of reasoning from I nduction. These answers (and also additional remarks on some of the same points, in 4of the Introduction to theE lements of Bhet ric )have been before the Public now some years; and as no attempt at a reply has been made, even in subsequent editions of the very works containing the objections, a strong presumption is thus afforded of the soundness of my views. The reader is to observe that the angular [brackets] denote that the word so enclosed is equivalent in meaning to that which precedes it.
