Excerpt from Elements of Logic: Comprising the Substance of the Article in the Encyclopaedia Metropolitana; With Additions, &C
The present edition has been revised with the utmost care. But though the work has undergone not only the close examination of myself and several friends, but the severer scrutiny of determined opponents, I am happy to find that no material errors have been detected, nor an considerable alterations found necessary. Some sm additions have, however, been introduced into the third and fourth editions; and also a change in the arrange ment, which I trust will somewhat lighten the student's labor. I have removed into an Appendix a considerable portion of what was in the first two editions placed in Part I. Tow Chap. I.) of the Compendium; as being (though big ly important, not only from its connexion with the rea soning process, but for other purposes, yet) not necessary, after the perusal of the Analytical Outline, for the under standing of the Second and Third Chapters. It may be studied, at the learner's choice, either before or after the Compendium.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, arising from the author's decades of experience, presents an extensive examination of the role of reasoning in everyday human life and offers guidance on recognizing and countering fallacies. The text posits that logic, commonly regarded as a tool of formal argumentation, also serves an essential role in shaping our thoughts, beliefs, and actions. Seeking to clarify the subject for those not already familiar with logic, the book carefully unpacks the thought processes occurring during reasoning and examines their reliability. The author expounds the concept of fallaciesâ"subtle errors of reasoning that can lead to invalid conclusionsâ"and classifies them into distinct types. Intended to empower readers, this book provides analytical tools to evaluate arguments and recognize logical fallacies, demonstrating how such capabilities are invaluable in navigating the complex world of information, competing claims, and misinformation.
