An Introductory Text-Book of Logic (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from An Introductory Text-Book of Logic<br><br>In the present volume the author's aim has been to provide a text-book at once elementary and philosophical. More specifically, he has endeavoured, in the first place, to give an accurate exposition of the essentials of "the Traditional Logic"; in the second place, to connect the traditional doctrine with its Aristotelian fountainhead, - not only because of the value and clearness of Aristotle's own treatment (as compared with later accretions), but in order to make various doctrines and phrases intelligible, which in the ordinary text-book are simply "shot from a pistol" as it were; in the third place, to show the open door leading from the traditional doctrine into the more modern and more strictly philosophical treatment of the subject. The book is intended to stop short of giving what is supplied in Mr Bosanquet's Essentials of Logic (not to mention larger works), but to lead on naturally to that and to a serious study of "Modern Logic."<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
