Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

Lectures delivered during a number of years in Cambridge; at first to members of my own College, and i tenyds4 Jo students generally in the University. Although the main outlines were sketched long ago, and a large portion of the materials had been delivered for several years in nearly the form now presented, the chapters here offered to the reader have been throughout written out afresh for the present occasion. As many readers will probably perceive, the main original guiding influence with me, as with most of those of the middle generation, and especially with most of those who approached Logic with a previous mathematical or scientific training, was that of Mill. But, as they may also perceive, this influence has subsequently generated the relation of criticism and divergence quite as much as that of acceptance; though I still continue to regard the general attitude towards phenomena, which Mill took up as a logician, to be the soundest and most useful for scientific study. This attitude of the scientific logician, as I conceive and interpret it, has been so fully explained in the introductory chapter, that I need only say that it is based upon that fundamental Duality in accordance with which it becomes the function of the logician to reduce to order, to interpret, and to forecast the complex of external objects which we call the phenomenal world. Whatever there may be that is at all v.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fundamental principles of logic, examining the very foundations upon which our understanding of the world rests. The author takes a unique approach, recognizing that logic is not an ultimate science but rather a tool we use to make sense of a complex reality. The book explores the assumptions we must make in order to engage in logical thought, drawing on ideas from metaphysics, psychology, and physical science. The author argues that we must start by recognizing the duality of our own subjective experiences and the external world, acknowledging that the objects we perceive are not simply given but are formed through mental processes of grouping and differentiation. The author also emphasizes the necessity of assuming uniformity in the world, positing that it behaves in a consistent manner, regardless of our own perspective. This uniformity, the author argues, is essential for our ability to reason about the world and to make inferences about events both past and future. This exploration of the foundations of logic places the book firmly within the tradition of philosophical inquiry into the nature of knowledge. The author's perspective, which emphasizes the limitations and assumptions inherent in logical reasoning, speaks to the enduring relevance of this subject in our understanding of how we come to know the world. The book's insights challenge us to consider the fundamental premises upon which we build our knowledge and to appreciate the complex interplay between our own mental processes and the external world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
