Synopsis :

The Principles of Empirical or Inductive Logic is a book written by John Venn. The book explores the principles of logic that are used in empirical or inductive reasoning. The author discusses the various methods of inductive reasoning, such as observation, experimentation, and statistical analysis. The book also covers the principles of probability theory and how they are used in empirical reasoning. Venn's approach to logic is grounded in the scientific method, and he emphasizes the importance of empirical evidence in the formation of logical arguments. The book is intended for students of logic, philosophy, and science, as well as anyone interested in understanding the principles of empirical reasoning. It is a classic work in the field of logic and continues to be widely read and studied today.1889. John Venn was a British logician made famous by his logical diagrams. These are now known as Venn Diagrams, and are often used in teaching elementary mathematics. The Principles of Empirical or Inductive Logic is one of three standard texts he published upon this topic.

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.
