Understand how logic guides scientific thinking and careful reasoning across disciplines.
This edition focuses on how to turn clear thinking into reliable knowledge. It explains the roles of observation, hypothesis, and method in pursuing truth. You’ll see how engineers of thought separate what is self-evident from what must be demonstrated, and how induction, deduction, and analysis work together in science and philosophy.
Readers will encounter practical discussions of how scientists test ideas, verify hypotheses, and measure evidence. The text also surveys the limits of explanation and the conditions for certitude in different kinds of knowledge.
Ideal for readers seeking a rigorous, historical, and method-focused view of logic's role in knowledge.
