Synopsis

Reason, Thought and Language: A Revised System of Logical Doctrine explores how logic fits with real thinking and everyday speech.

This rigorous guide shows how formal rules meet the living complexities of language and idiomatic discourse.

This edition presents a systematic look at how reasoning is grounded, justified, and shaped by communication. It blends traditional logic with practical concerns about thought, judgment, and the way we express ideas in daily life, without oversimplifying either side.
  • Clarifies what logic can and cannot claim to do in real thinking and speech
  • Describes how grounds for thought are formed and tested through reasoning
  • Discusses the role of universals, propositions, and the structure of judgments
  • Addresses topics like negation, modality, and the relationship between concept and thought
Ideal for readers of philosophy and logic who want a clear, methodical map of reasoning that applies to everyday language and reasoning challenges.
