Thought and Things, Vol. 2 (Classic Reprint): A Study of the Development and Meaning of Thought or Genetic Logic; Experimental Logic, or Genetic Theory of Thought - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Thought and Things
I am aware that my use of certain new terms has proved a stumbling stone to many; it was bound to be so. I deliber ately adhere to my view, however, that for new distinctions, and for Old ones too that have no proper names, unambiguous terms are absolutely requisite. In this matter I enrol myself under the banner of the American apostle of clear terminology in this field, C. S. Peirce. If any of the views expressed in my work survive, the terms will win out too; if the views do not survive, the terms may perish with them A word on this point and also on other criticisms will be found in the Appendix to this volume and certain of the points made there, especially the remarks on meaning and on assumption, may be referred to as supplementary to topics of Vol. I. The intima tions in the matter of the aesthetic, also in the Appendix, anticipate conclusions reached in Volume III. An error was made in the Preface to Vol. I., in the statement that the third volume was to appear in a year. It was this volume, the second, that was intended. The third volume is writing, but not written.

Thought and Things, Vol. 2 (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fundamental nature of thinking and how we come to know and believe things. The author explores the process of judgment, examining its relationship to belief, acceptance, and the formation of meaning. Taking a historical perspective, the book challenges traditional views of logic, particularly the "predication theory" which argues that every judgment involves asserting one term as a predicate of another. Instead, the author proposes a more nuanced understanding of judgment as a multifaceted act of acknowledgment, encompassing both the content of a thought and the underlying presuppositions that shape our understanding. Through a detailed analysis of the author's own "genetic theory of thought," the book unravels the complexities of how we navigate different spheres of meaning, including the realm of reality, personal experience, and the process of constructing logical arguments. The author introduces a unique set of terms to articulate the intricate interplay between presupposition, assumption, and belief, ultimately providing a fresh perspective on the origins and evolution of our cognitive processes. This book offers a unique and insightful exploration of the workings of the human mind, revealing the intricate mechanisms that underpin our ability to think, reason, and form beliefs. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330393321_0
