Pure Logic (Classic Reprint): Or the Logic of Quality Apart From Quantity; With Remarks on Boole's System and on the Relation of Logic and Mathematics - Softcover
Synopsis
Pure logic aims to simplify reasoning by focusing on quality rather than quantity. This edition presents a theory that compares the sameness and difference of meanings, offering a fresh approach to how we think about terms and propositions.
In these pages, the author argues that logic can be clearer when we separate reasoning about the content of ideas from their numerical or measurable aspects. The book explores how terms carry meaning, how judgments about similarity and difference shape inference, and how a quality‑based system relates to traditional and Boolean logic. It also discusses how to handle complex terms, definitions, and the role of language in logical analysis.
- Learn a new method for evaluating how terms express meaning in intent and extent.
- See how indirect inference and the treatment of complex terms can streamline argumentation.
- Compare logic of quality with classical logic and Boole’s system, with practical examples.
- Understand the scope and limits of a qualitative approach to reasoning.
Ideal for readers of philosophy, logic, and the history of ideas who want a clear, accessible introduction to Jevons’s approach to logic.

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, written in 1864, serves as an indispensable guide to the theories and practices of logic. Going beyond traditional conceptions and practices of logic that only consider quantity, this book focuses on quality, quantity, and their relation. The author argues that such an all-encompassing examination allows logic to exist as an independent science with applications across mathematics and the real world. The author covers both simple and compound propositions, explores their connections, and demonstrates how to use them in everyday life. Throughout, the author seeks to distill logic to the most fundamental truths to uncover a new degree of simplicity and generality in the practice of logic.
