Synopsis
Excerpt from Symbolic Logic
I have so fully explained in the nature and aim of this system of Logic, in the Introduction, that nothing further need be said on this head . The substance of most of these chapters has been given in my college lectures, our present intercollegiate scheme of lecturing (now in operation for about twelve years) offering great facilities for the prosecution of any special studies which happen to suit the taste and capacity of some particular lecturer and a selection of the students. I mention this in order to explain what might seem a disproportionate devotion of time to one peculiar development of Logic.
Besides Mr C. J. Monro, who has repeated the kind help he gave on a former occasion, I have to thank several friends and fellow-lecturers (amongst whom I must mention Mr H. Sidgwick, Mr H. S. Foxwell, Mr J. Ward, and Mr J. N. Keynes, before whom several of these chapters were read and discussed) for many valuable suggestions and criticisms. I must also express my obligations to Prof. G. Groom Robertson, of University College, London, for his kindness in procuring me several rare works from the valuable library of his college.
I should add here that the substance of some of the following chapters has already appeared elsewhere: viz. Chap. I in Mind (July, 1880), Chap. V in the Philosophical Magazine (July, 1880), and Chap. XX in the Proc. of the Cambridge Philosophical Society (Dec., 1880), but all of these have been rewritten and enlarged. The general view adopted in this work was sketched out in an article in the Princeton Review of September, 1880.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating realm of symbolic logic, exploring its historical roots and its potential to revolutionize the way we think and reason. The author argues that symbolic logic, often perceived as a branch of mathematics, offers a unique and powerful approach to understanding the complexities of human thought. Emerging during a time of intellectual ferment, when traditional logic was being challenged by new ideas and discoveries, this book champions a more expansive and adaptable system. It delves into the intricacies of symbolic language, demonstrating how it can be used to represent and analyze a wide range of logical problems, far exceeding the capabilities of conventional methods. The author contends that symbolic logic is not merely a tool for solving puzzles but a means of unlocking deeper philosophical insights. By exploring the connections between symbolic logic and ordinary language, the book sheds light on fundamental questions about the nature of meaning, existence, and the structure of thought itself. The author's innovative approach to diagrammatic representation further enhances our understanding of these complex concepts, making them accessible to a broader audience. Ultimately, this book challenges us to re-evaluate our assumptions about the limits of logic and to embrace the transformative power of symbolic reasoning.
