Synopsis

The Science Of Thought: A System Of Logic by Charles Carroll Everett. This work presents thought as a reality to be studied with the rigour of science, and proposes logic as the science of sciences. Everett analyzes thought into its essential relations, tracing its forms through three major divisions: abstract material and the relations of thought (categories); forms of thought and their logical forms; and the problems and limits of thought. The book unfolds in three parts that examine static relations (quality and quantity), dynamic relations (change, cause and effect, negation, and the organic realm of final causes, differentiation, and integration), and the organic unity underlying thought. It then surveys the forms of thought—conceptions and terms, judgments and propositions, and the three classic forms of syllogisms (deduction, induction, and identification)—and discusses how these reflect the real structure of thought and its relation to the external world. Everett situates his program within a tradition of German and British philosophy, arguing for a comprehensive, systematic logic that unites psychology, epistemology, and metaphysics. The work culminates in a broader treatment of the problems and limits of thought, addressing truth, goodness, and beauty as aspects of an overarching rational unity.
