Synopsis

Master logic with a clear, practical guide to thinking clearly. This concise introduction helps beginners understand how reasoning works and how to apply it in science, daily life, and debate.

This edition outlines logic in plain terms: how perception shapes knowledge; how terms and propositions are formed; and how different kinds of reasoning, evidence, and method fit together. It emphasizes that real-world reasoning relies on moral and probabilistic evidence, not just strict demonstration, and it includes practical guidance on interpretation and controversy.


  • Accessible overview of perception, attention, abstraction, and the mind's leading powers

  • Foundations of terms and propositions, with practical rules for analysis

  • How to distinguish moral evidence from demonstrative reasoning and how to weigh testimony

  • Strategies for sound argumentation, evaluation, and effective communication



Ideal for readers seeking a solid, modern-feeling introduction to logical thinking and its everyday uses, including students and curious adults.

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.
