Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book introduces readers to the principles and concepts of formal logic, exploring a fundamental pillar of our ability to reason and think. Formal logic is an ancient practice with roots in the work of Aristotle, the author positions the subject within this historical context and examines ideas that have withstood centuries of analysis and debate to provide a foundation for human reasoning. The author acknowledges different schools of logical thought and explores the contours of how we communicate ideas, identify fallacies in reasoning, and draw meaningful conclusions. Central to formal logic are the formation and use of terms, propositions, and inferences, and the book thoroughly examines the nature and use of each while investigating deeper questions about the validity of thought itself. By explicating the relationship between language, thought, and reality this book provides insights into the human capacity for knowledge and discourse.
