Synopsis

This text presents what its author calls a reconstruction of logic, providing a new and more satisfactory account of the science of reasoning and belief. It goes beyond traditional theories, especially in its analysis of inference and of contingent and necessary sequences. It also corrects what the author sees as the errors of previous thinkers in their attempts to understand the nature of judgment and of the knowledge of fact. The book's detailed examination of topics that are crucial topics for areas like mathematics and even law and legal proceedings makes this book a particularly valuable resource for scholars in any field that requires precise thinking and argument.
