Synopsis
Excerpt from Logic, Vol. 1: The Judgement, Concept, and Inference
When I was requested to give my consent to an English translation of my Logic, I complied willingly, because in preparing and achieving this work an essential part of my studies had been devoted to English logicians from Francis Bacon down to Jevons, Bradley, and Venn; thus I may hope that to English readers my book will not appear entirely as a foreigner.
Whoever has himself attempted to translate a philosophical tretise is acquainted with the difficulties of the task; it is sometimes impossible to find in one's own language simple and current expressions which might exactly correspond to the terms of the original, and the translator is beset by the danger of either missing the precise meaning of the text, or of straining his own language and impairing easy understanding.
I think that Miss Dendy has done her best to overcome these difficulties and avoid this double danger. I have carefully revised her manuscript from beginning to end, and co-operated in correcting the proofs, so that I may safely assure the reader that the translation is completely free from misunderstandings, and that it represents everywhere as exactly as possible the original text. I feel obliged to express my hearty thanks to Miss Dendy for the trouble she has taken to give a really faithful and realiable translation

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fundamental nature of human thought and judgment, exploring the process by which we arrive at truth and certainty. The author examines the nature of judgments, their formation, and the conditions under which they can be considered valid. The book explores the concepts of necessity and universal validity in thought, addressing the question of how we can distinguish between objectively necessary thought and mere opinion. This book stands within the long and esteemed tradition of philosophical inquiry into logic, building upon the work of previous thinkers such as Aristotle and Descartes. The author carefully analyzes the process of judgment, highlighting the importance of clear concepts and the role of inference in arriving at valid conclusions. The book grapples with the challenges of attaining absolute certainty in thought, recognizing that the human mind is always subject to the limitations of its own experiences and presuppositions. Ultimately, this book offers a rich and thought-provoking exploration of the human capacity for reasoning and the pursuit of truth.
