Excerpt from On an Evolutionist Theory of Axioms: Inaugural Lecture Delivered October 15, 1889
I could have wished, in an introductory lecture of this kind, to say something of my predecessors; but I have not the knowledge necessary to do them justice, and I am afraid also that it would seem unbecoming in me to offer to pronounce a judgment on them or their work.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the evolution of logic as a philosophical discipline, shedding light on the historical trajectory of our understanding of truth and the role of the mind in shaping our beliefs. The author delves into the development of formal logic and its application as an organon, an instrument for scientific discovery. They challenge the widely accepted view that an evolutionary approach has reconciled opposing philosophical schools and question the validity of the theory that our beliefs in foundational principles are solely the result of biological adaptation. Through a rigorous and comprehensive analysis, this book challenges conventional wisdom and uncovers the intricate complexities of human cognition and the nature of knowledge.
