Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, an in-depth examination of the guiding principles for reasoning and inference, addresses a fundamental part of our knowledge. Logic, the study of the principles of correct reasoning, is the focus of the authorâs inquiry, which begins with an investigation of the basic elements of logic - terms and propositions. Concepts of truth and error, belief and inquiry, and the very nature of knowledge itself are explored. The author asserts that key questions mankind has asked itself are best understood through an examination of propositions, which he finds are composed of two names - the subject and the predicate - joined by a copula (the connecting term). The author concludes that all knowledge gained outside of direct consciousness must be supported by evidence, and the rules of logic provide the means to distinguish the proven from the unproven.
