Synopsis
Excerpt from Implication and Linear Inference
My object in the present work is to develop and elucidate the non-syllogistic principle on which my Logic was founded. In order to make the central idea clear, I have permitted myself some detailed criticism of other writers, while I have abstained from complicated systematic construction. Still following Mr. Bradley, and influenced further by Mr. Joseph, especially in the distinction between Syllogism and Deduction, I have laid even more stress than before on the principle of coherence, and have insisted on "implication" as a term free from reference to reasoning in its traditional shapes.
I have thus been able, as I hope, to do much more justice to Mr. Bradley's positive account of inference than was done in my former work.
The contrast expressed in the title of the book has forced itself on me continually, not only in the logical studies of which specimens appear in my criticism, but in all common-sense argument and observation, and in actual acquaintance with reasoning as conducted by great writers and capable publicists.

Implication and Linear Inference (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 explores the fundamental nature of inference, challenging the traditional, linear model of reasoning. The author argues that the syllogistic approach, with its focus on linking terms in a chain, fails to capture the true essence of how we arrive at knowledge. Instead, they propose a "systematic" view, where inference arises from the interconnectedness of elements within complex systems. The author draws upon the works of philosophers like Bradley and Joseph, emphasizing the role of "coherence" and "implication" in understanding how we make inferences. This approach acknowledges the inherent unity of our knowledge and the way in which individual facts or propositions gain meaning through their relationships to a larger context. The book delves into the intricacies of a priori and empirical reasoning, suggesting that both are ultimately based on the same principle of implication. It argues that even seemingly simple truths, such as those found in geometry or arithmetic, are derived from the systematic nature of the underlying principles. Ultimately, the author offers a compelling argument for a more holistic understanding of inference, one that sheds light on the interconnectedness of all knowledge and the vital role of coherence in arriving at truth.
