About this title

Synopsis

Explore how thinking grows from simple sense to complex knowledge. This volume presents Baldwin’s genetic theory of logic and its experimental approach.

In this second volume, the author reframes logic as part of the development of knowledge, linking thought to how we come to know things. The work treats experimental logic and the genetic theory of thought as integrated methods for understanding how meanings arise and how judgments form.

• Discover how meanings evolve from simple predication to complex propositions.


• See how negation and opposition develop from basic cognitive content.


• Learn how judgments shift between belief, acknowledgment, and hypothesis.


• Explore a developmental view of logic that connects thinking to knowledge growth.

Ideal for readers of philosophy and cognitive science who want a practical, developmental view of logic.
