Synopsis

The Science Of Thought: A System Of Logic by Charles Carroll Everett. This 1869 philosophical treatise treats thought as a real subject of study and aims to found a science of logic by analyzing the substance and forms of thought, uniting substance and form, and tracing thought from abstract categories to concrete life. Everett divides the work into three books: Abstract Material and Relations of Thought (the Categories), Forms of Thought Embodied in Logical Forms (the Language, Judgments and Propositions, and Syllogisms), and The Problems and Limits of Thought (The Problems of the Reason or Philosophy, of Understanding or Science, and of Life). The work surveys how thought relates to reality, the distinction between subjective and objective, and the process of reasoning—deduction, induction, and identification—while treating causation, final causes, and the unity of knowledge. He draws on Hegel, Kant, and other philosophers, advocates the conservation of force, the correlation of forces, and the unity of thought with being, and discusses the limits of human thought and the role of faith in knowledge.
