Explore the logic of knowledge in depth and detail. This volume continues Bernard Bosanquet’s comprehensive treatment of inference, analogy, and scientific induction, offering a clear path through complex ideas about how we reason and learn. Readers will encounter practical analyses of how we move from one content to another and how universal ideas emerge from concrete differences.
The book frames its discussion with a strong focus on the methods of inference, the role of mediation, and the ways formal and material postulates govern reasoning. It combines rigorous argument with accessible examples, guiding readers from foundational questions about judgment to the mechanics of evidence, testing, and generalisation. This edition unfolds a cohesive map of logical reasoning, aimed at students, instructors, and curious readers of philosophy alike.
- Understand how inference mediates between ideas and reality
- See how analogy, induction, and hypothesis shape knowledge
- Learn methods for testing connections, including negative and positive instances
- Explore the relationship between logical form and real-world evidence
Ideal for readers of philosophy, logic, and the history of ideas who want a structured, thoughtful approach to how we know what we know.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This thought-provoking book explores the nature of inference, a crucial cognitive process that allows us to draw conclusions and make sense of the world around us. The author delves into the essence, accidents, and types of inference, examining its philosophical underpinnings and its role in our understanding of knowledge and logic. Tracing its development throughout history, the book situates the author's perspective within a broader intellectual context. Along the way, it delves into complex themes like the hypothetical judgment and the interconnectedness of the universal and the particular. The author also discusses the challenges in distinguishing inference from related concepts such as judgment and recognition. Ultimately, this book offers valuable insights into the workings of our cognitive faculties and the nature of human understanding. Its exploration of inference enriches our comprehension of the complexities of human thought and the foundations of knowledge.
