Synopsis
This book provides a systematic investigation of the general principles of valid thought. It begins with an examination of the nature of language as the instrument of thought before moving on to a detailed discussion of terms, propositions, and reasonings. The author argues that logic is concerned with the ideal in the domains of thought, action, and feeling. It seeks to determine the general principles of valid thought, ethics the general principles of right conduct, and aesthetics the general principles of correct taste. As such, this book encapsulates a unique trio, to be distinguished from positive sciences on the one hand, and from practical arts on the other. The author presents an objective reference in every judgment, that is, a reference outside the state of mind which constitutes the judgment itself.

About the Author
John Neville Keynes (1852-1949) was an economist and father to the late John Maynard Keynes. He was also university lecturer in moral science and late fellow of Pembroke College at the University of Cambridge as well as late examiner in political economy at the University of London. One of his famous arguments was dividing the idea of Economy into three parts: positive economy, normative economy, and the "art of economics." He is most known for his Studies and Exercises in Formal Logic.
