Présentation de l'éditeur

Principles of Logic I welcome the opportunity it affords me of expressing my thanks to my various critics for the very kind manner in which the work was received. The friendly notices accorded to it, not only by such as were in sympathy with its general standpoint, but by those whose philosophical position was altogether different, tend to show that at the present time a new interest is felt in thatS cholastic system, whose principles it was my purpose to defend. Since the publication of the first edition of this work the Traditional Logic has been the object of hostile criticism. More than one writer of mark has maintained that, as an analysis of our mental operations, it is entirely worthless :that it is destitute of any claim to be regarded as a science. Such an estimate, we are convinced, is only possible because Logic has for so long been studied out of all relation to that philosophy of which it forms an integral part. A detailed fragment has been treated as though it were an independent whole. Under such circumstances it could hariily fail to be misinterpreted and undervalued. But when it is viewed in the light of the principles of Schol ist:cism its true value is seen. I ts validity as an analysis of thought becomes apparent, and its claim to be a true science is put beyond all dispute. For the purpose of the present edition the work has been carefully revised, certain corrections have been made, and a few sections have been re-written.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
