Excerpt from The Science of Logic, Vol. 2 of 2: An Inquiry Into the Principles of Accurate Thought and Scientific Method

200. Transition to Part IV. - We have now completed our examination of the formal aspect of the reasoning process, and of the rules that guarantee its formal correctness or validity (Part III.). But the object of all reasoning, of all science and philosophy in fact, is to arrive at a certain knowledge of truth; and, to secure this, it is not enough that our reasoning processes be correct or valid formally: the judgments involved in them must, furthermore, be all both true and certain.

Truth is, as we saw (9, 79), contained in the mental act of judgment, to which the operations both of inference and of conception are thus subsidiary. An analysis of the material or "truth" aspect of inference will therefore, of necessity, direct our attention once more to the judgments of which our inferences are composed, and to the concepts or ideas which enter into our judgments (Parts I. and II.) After having separately examined each of the three mental operations, of conception, judgment, and inference, our next concern is to inquire how we reach true judgments, especially those true universal judgments which constitute scientific knowledge: how, in other words, we are to exercise those three mental operations on the data of knowledge to the best advantage for the acquiring of truth: how' we are to regulate and co-ordinate those mental acts, conception, judgment, and reasoning, in exploring the various departments of the know-able universe. This portion of logical doctrine is variously described as applied logic, methodology, or the science of logical method.

Description de la librairie

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.
