Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introductory Logic The present\edition represents a somewhat thorough revision of this book, which had remained substantially unchanged since its first publication, eleven years ago. Changes of more or less importance have been introduced into every chapter; new paragraphs have been added to many of the sections; and, especially in the Second Part, many of the sections have been entirely rewritten. Chap ter XIII. Of the old text, on the Problem of Induction, has been expanded into two chapters; and, throughout this Part, an attempt has been made to bring the treatment of the various inductive methods into closer relation with a general philosophical theory. The chapter with which the text formerly closed, Rational and Empirical Theories, has been replaced by one entitled The Unification of Knowledge. It has seemed important to conclude the discussion of the nature of thought with some statement of the meaning and function of the main categories which experience involves, and, in this connection, to Indicate in a general way the necessity of a philosophical interpreta tion of the results of the special sciences. The number of problems and examples of reasoning to be analyzed has been more than doubled in the belief that fresh material of this nature will prove welcome to teachers of the subject.

Download or read book An Introduction to Formal Logic written by Peter Smith and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-11-06 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Formal logic provides us with a powerful set of techniques for criticizing some arguments and showing others to be valid. These techniques are relevant to all of us with an interest in being skilful and accurate reasoners. In this highly accessible book, Peter Smith presents a guide to the fundamental aims and basic elements of formal logic. He introduces the reader to the languages of propositional and predicate logic, and then develops formal systems for evaluating arguments translated into these languages, concentrating on the easily comprehensible 'tree' method. His discussion is richly illustrated with worked examples and exercises. A distinctive feature is that, alongside the formal work, there is illuminating philosophical commentary. This book will make an ideal text for a first logic course, and will provide a firm basis for further work in formal and philosophical logic.

Download or read book A Short Introduction to the Study of Logic Classic Reprint written by Laurence Johnstone and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-05 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short Introduction to the Study of Logic This is only another way Of putting the Scholastic division of Logic into Formal and Material; Formal Logic or Dialectics answering to the act Of the agent (see definitions at p. 10, et seq., referred to at p. 17) Material Logic, to the end Of the act. And, as Truth is something else besides the end Of the act Of reasoning, as it can be gained in other ways, and is manifested bylaws outside our minds, -and as Material Logic has Truth for its matter, it follows that these laws must fall within the scope Of this Material Logic. In this division a knowledge Of the agent of the act is presupposed. A distinction is Often made between Natural and Artificial Logic, Natural Logic means the natural reasoning that leads men to Truth, or that would do so, if it were possible for them always to follow the light Of reason. Artificial Logic may be briefly called the science of Natural Logic, for it does no more than give an exact and methodical Shape to the rules delivered by nature; just as in music, or painting, or sculpture, the technicalities Of the art merely throw natural rules into order and method. And, as the art-student naturally acquires delicacy Of perception in all that concerns his art; so does the study Of Logic give delicacy Of intellectual touch to distinguish Truth, and a peculiar power Of dis cerning Truth, and Of unmasking error when it lurks under the guise Of Truth.

This book was released on 2017-05-25 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to General Logic The only method of explaining, questioning, justifying, or disproving any Proposition is by means of other Proposi tions having some relation to it. Logic may be called the Science of the Import and Relations of Propositions; and since all Sciences are expressed in Propositions, Logic is thus the Science of Sciences - that is, the Science of a method of procedure which applies in every department of knowledge. General Logic starts from the standpoint of ordinary thought, and assumes Reason in Man and Trustworthiness in Language.

Download or read book Introductory Logic Student Tex written by 5th Edition and published by . This book was released on 2014-07-30 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studying formal logic can be intimidating without the right help, but knowing how to think logically isn't just for "experts." Logic should be your secret weapon. It's the tool for learning how to use other tools. It's the bones that give a clenched fist its structure (and knuckles). With that in mind, we have painstakingly designed Introductory Logic for everyday students, teachers, and parents who've never tackled syllogisms or fallacies before, but who know just how important learning logic is. In Introductory Logic, you'll get the benefit of James B. Nance's twenty years of teaching experience as you learn the fundamentals you need to think well wherever you are, including: How to properly define terms for maximum precision and accuracy -- and thus win the debate, How to form and interpret statements, the building blocks of logical thought, How to compose valid syllogisms, and -- just as importantly -- expose the invalid fakes using counterexamples, How to analyze arguments in norm
Download or read book An Introduction to Non Classical Logic written by Graham Priest and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2008-04-10 with total page 582 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This revised and considerably expanded 2nd edition brings together a wide range of topics, including modal, tense, conditional, intuitionist, many-valued, paraconsistent, relevant, and fuzzy logics. Part 1, on propositional logic, is the old Introduction, but contains much new material. Part 2 is entirely new, and covers quantification and identity for all the logics in Part 1. The material is unified by the underlying theme of world semantics. All of the topics are explained clearly using devices such as tableau proofs, and their relation to current philosophical issues and debates are discussed. Students with a basic understanding of classical logic will find this book an invaluable introduction to an area that has become of central importance in both logic and philosophy. It will also interest people working in mathematics and computer science who wish to know about the area.
Download or read book An Introductory Logic written by James Edwin Creighton and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-02 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introductory Logic This volume is intended primarily as a text-book for college students, and grew out of my lectures on Logic to undergraduate classes in Cornell University. It aims at being both practical and theoretical. In spite of the obvious deficiencies of formal Logic as a theory of the nature of thought, I am convinced that it is one of the most valuable instruments in modern education for promoting clear thinking, and for developing critical habits of mind. J. S. Mill, speaking in the Autobiography of the discipline which he received from working logical exercises, expresses the following opinion: "I am persuaded that nothing, in modern education, tends so much, when properly used, to form exact thinkers, who attach a precise meaning to words and propositions, and are not imposed on by vague, loose, or ambiguous terms." Although in treating the syllogistic Logic I have followed to a large extent the ordinary mode of presentation, I have both here, and when dealing with the Inductive Methods, endeavoured to interpret the traditional doctrines in a philosophical way, and to prepare for the theoretical discussions of the third part of the book. The advisability of attempting to include a theory of thought, or philosophy of knowledge, even in outline, in an elementary course in Logic, may at first sight appear doubtful. It seems to me, however, that this inclusion is not only justifiable, but even necessary at the present time.
