Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, written by an established author, focuses on the use of words in logical reasoning, with the ultimate goal of better understanding the differences between good and bad reasoning. It begins by discussing the main divergence of method, which is between those who accept Mathematics as the type of science, and those who do not. The author clearly falls into the latter category and provides ample reasons for this stance. Moving on, the author goes into detail about the differences between deductive and inductive logic. Special attention is given to the latter and its treatment within the larger context of formal logic. The author presents a compelling argument that inductive logic cannot be considered formal and provides evidence to support this claim. The author argues that the main problem with formal logic is the assumption that all logical doctrines may be deduced from axioms as undeniable as those of Euclid. This assumption is challenged throughout the book, as is the related notion that a reasoning process can be cut off from the subject matter about which it is employed. The author concludes by arguing that the flaws of formal logic cannot be satisfactorily traced to the reasoning process as distinct from the subject matter.
