Synopsis

The Principles of Logic is a comprehensive book written by F. H. Bradley that explores the fundamental principles of logic. The book begins by providing an overview of the nature of logic and the different types of reasoning that exist. It then delves into the principles of inference, including the laws of identity, contradiction, and excluded middle. Bradley also discusses the concept of judgment and the various forms of judgment that can be made. He explores the connection between language and logic and how language can be used to express logical concepts. The book also covers the different types of syllogisms and the principles of induction and deduction. Throughout the book, Bradley emphasizes the importance of understanding the principles of logic in order to make sound judgments and arguments. He uses examples and illustrations to help readers grasp the concepts and apply them in practical situations. The Principles of Logic is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the fundamental principles of logic and improving their reasoning skills.1883. Francis Herbert Bradley, English philosopher and absolute idealist, his Ethical Studies criticized Mill's utilitarianism and defended an ethics of self-realization, understood as the conquest of the bad self by the good. Bradley's metaphysical views, akin to those of Hegel, with a special emphasis on the internal relations of the Absolute are developed at length in Appearance and Reality and defended in this volume of Essays on Truth and Reality. Bradley writes in the preface: The following work makes no claim to supply any systematic treatment of Logic. I could not pretend to have acquired the necessary knowledge; and in addition I confess that I am not sure where Logic begins or ends. I have adopted the title Principles of Logic, because I thought that my inquiries were mainly logical, and, for logic at least, must be fundamental.

Présentation de l'éditeur

The following work makes rio claim to supply any systematic treatment of Logic. I could not pretend to have acquired the necessary knowledge; and in addition I confess that I am not sure where Logic begins or ends. I have adopted the title Principles of Logic, because I thought that my enquiries were mainly logical, and, for logic at least, must be fundamental. I feel that probability is against me. Experience has shown that most books on Logic add little to their subject. There is however one reflection which may weigh in my favour. Both in England and in Germany that subject is in motion. Logic is not where it was, and can not remain where it is. And when one works with the stream a slight effort may bring progress. I have in general not referred to those works to which I have been indebted. A mongst recent writers I owe most to Lotze, and after him to Sigwart Wundt sbook would have been more useful had it come to me earlier; and I may say the same of Bergmann s. I am under obligations to bothS teinthal and Lazarus. And amongst English writers I have learned most from the late Professor jevons. I may mention here that I should have owed certain observations toM r. Balfour sable work, had I not seen it first when my book was completed. I should be glad to state my debts in detail, and in this way to express the gratitude I feel, but I doubt if it is now possible. I could not everywhere point out the original owners of my borrowed material, and I could not clearly state how much is not borrowed. I lay no claim to originality, except that, using the result of others labour, I in some respects have made a sensible advance.

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.
