Synopsis

""Logic: Inductive and Deductive"" by William Minto is a comprehensive guide to the principles of reasoning, argumentation, and inference. The book explores the two fundamental forms of logic: inductive and deductive reasoning. Inductive reasoning involves drawing general conclusions from specific observations, while deductive reasoning involves deriving specific conclusions from general principles. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the nature of logic, the principles of argumentation and inference, the different types of reasoning, and the use of logic in everyday life. It also discusses the role of logic in science, philosophy, and other fields, and provides practical examples and exercises to help readers develop their own logical skills.Written in clear and accessible language, ""Logic: Inductive and Deductive"" is an invaluable resource for students of philosophy, science, and other disciplines that require a strong understanding of logic and reasoning. It is also an excellent reference for anyone who wants to improve their critical thinking skills and learn how to construct effective arguments.1894. With a few diagrams. Minto writes in the Preface: In this little treatise two things are attempted that at first might appear incompatible. One of them is to put the study of logical formulae on a historical basis. The other aim, which might at first appear inconsistent with this, is to increase the power of Logic as a practical discipline.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

Ji PREFACE. In this little treatise two things are attempted that at first might appear incompatible. One of them is to put the study of logical formulae on a historical basis. Strangely enough, the scientific evolution of logical forms, is a bit of history that still awaits the zeal and genius of some great scholar. I have neither ambition nor qualification for such a magnum opus, and my life is already more than half spent; but the gap in evolutionary research is so obvious that doubtless some younger man is now at work in the field unknown to me. All that I can hope to do is to act as a humble pioneer according to my imperfect lights. Even the little I have done represents work begun more than twenty years ago, and continuously pursued for the last twelve years during a considerable portion of my time. The other aim, which might at first appear inconsistent with this, is to increase the power of Logic as a practical discipline. The main purpose of this practical science, or scientific art, is conceived to be the organisation of reason against error, and error in its various kinds is made the basis of the division of the subject.
