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.

Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings. Careful attention has been made to accurately preserve the original forma
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.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the realm of traditional logic, guiding readers through the intricate processes of human thought and their role in attaining truth. It adopts the perspective of Scholastic philosophy, a system of thought that flourished during the Middle Ages, exploring the fundamental principles upon which this philosophy is built. The author contends that the Scholastic system, with its emphasis on reason and logic, provides a robust framework for understanding the human mind and its pursuit of knowledge. The text traces the historical trajectory of logical thought, from its origins in ancient Greece with Aristotle to its development by the Scholastics, highlighting the enduring relevance of this intellectual tradition. Exploring concepts, judgments, and inferences, the book delves into the structure of thought and the laws that govern valid reasoning. It examines topics such as the nature of concepts, the different types of propositions, and the principles of syllogistic reasoning. The author also delves into the methods of inductive enquiry, exploring the role of observation, experimentation, and hypothesis in scientific investigation. Through its exploration of traditional logic and its historical context, this book offers valuable insights into the workings of the human mind and the pursuit of truth. It underscores the significance of a systematic and rigorous approach to thinking, reminding us that the principles of logic remain essential tools for navigating the complexities of the world around us.
