Synopsis
Explore how traditional logic meets modern thought in Footnotes to Formal Logic. See how a long-standing discipline adapts to new ideas without losing its core purpose.
This collection of essays argues for a broader view of logic, one that connects its methods to real questions in philosophy and psychology. It examines how form and content interact in thinking, and why consistency and truth must be considered together with how we arrive at them.
The author aims to defend the value of formal logic while acknowledging recent critiques. The discussions cover how knowledge, inference, and judgment relate to both abstract reasoning and practical understanding.
- Grasp the debate between formal structure and real-world reasoning
- Understand how form and matter can be connected without being identical
- Learn how inference, judgment, and demonstration are treated in this framework
- See how philosophy, psychology, and logic illuminate each other
Ideal for readers of philosophy, logic, and cognitive science who want a clear, accessible defense of traditional logic in a modern context.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book concerns itself with the value and role of formal logic and whether there is room for it in contemporary thought. As the author was a university professor, responsible for teaching formal logic, they sought to determine and explore its usefulness to refute the claim that it is no longer of service to modern philosophy. Within the book, the author presents the philosophies, theories, criticisms, and benefits of formal logic against the backdrop of the varied philosophical and logical thought of history. By exploring how formal logic has adapted and persisted throughout philosophical history, the author argues that while we cannot turn away from the concrete and look solely at abstract concepts, neither can we turn away from abstraction completely. Formal logic remains a vital tool, essential to teaching sound reasoning, useful in the exploration of philosophy, sharpening thought, and aiding in the expression of thought, even if it is not a complete system and does have limitations. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
