Synopsis :

Deductive Logic is a book written by St. George Stock and originally published in 1888. The book is a comprehensive guide to the principles and methods of deductive logic, which is the branch of logic that deals with the process of reasoning from one or more premises to a conclusion. The book begins with an introduction to the basic concepts of logic, such as propositions, terms, and syllogisms. It then goes on to explore the different types of syllogisms, including categorical, hypothetical, and disjunctive syllogisms. The book also covers the rules of inference and the principles of valid reasoning.Throughout the book, Stock provides numerous examples and exercises to help readers understand and apply the concepts of deductive logic. He also includes discussions on the limitations of deductive logic and the importance of considering other forms of reasoning, such as inductive and abductive reasoning.Overall, Deductive Logic is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the principles of logic and reasoning. It provides a clear and concise introduction to the subject, making it accessible to both beginners and more advanced readers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Présentation de l'éditeur: One critic, who was kind enough to look at this book in manuscript, recommended me to abandon the design of Publishing it, on the ground that my logic was too like all other logics; another suggested to me to cut out a considerable amount of new matter. The latter advice I have followed; the former has encouraged me to hope that I shall not be considered guilty of wanton innovation. The few novelties which I have ventured to retain will, I trust, be regarded as legitimate extensions of received lines of teaching. My object has been to produce a work which should be as thoroughly representative of the present state of the logic of the Oxford Schools as any of the text-books of the past. The qualities which I have aimed at before all others have been clearness and consistency. For the task which I have taken upon myself I may claim one qualification—that of experience; since more than seventeen years have now elapsed since I took my first pupil in logic for the Honour School of Moderations, and during that time I have been pretty continuously engaged in studying and teaching the subject.
