Synopsis
Excerpt from The Use of Words in Reasoning
I have again to thank Mr. Carveth Read for the great help he has given me with the proof-sheets, in spite of our many differences of view - differences the extent of which will, no doubt, undergo in course of time still further limitation and definition. And I have also to thank Miss E. E. C. Jones for much discussion of the ms. Under similar conditions. Some controversial exaggerations have in this way been avoided, and if any still remain they will, I hope, be duly pointed out by other opponents.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, written by an established author, focuses on the use of words in logical reasoning, with the ultimate goal of better understanding the differences between good and bad reasoning. It begins by discussing the main divergence of method, which is between those who accept Mathematics as the type of science, and those who do not. The author clearly falls into the latter category and provides ample reasons for this stance. Moving on, the author goes into detail about the differences between deductive and inductive logic. Special attention is given to the latter and its treatment within the larger context of formal logic. The author presents a compelling argument that inductive logic cannot be considered formal and provides evidence to support this claim. The author argues that the main problem with formal logic is the assumption that all logical doctrines may be deduced from axioms as undeniable as those of Euclid. This assumption is challenged throughout the book, as is the related notion that a reasoning process can be cut off from the subject matter about which it is employed. The author concludes by arguing that the flaws of formal logic cannot be satisfactorily traced to the reasoning process as distinct from the subject matter. 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 # 9781330428528_0
