Synopsis
Excerpt from The Use of Words in Reasoning
I have again to thank Mr. Carveth Read for the great help he has given me with the proof-sheets, in spite of our many differences of view, - differences the extent of which will, no doubt, undergo in course of time still further limitation and definition. And I have also to thank Miss E. E. C. Jones for much discussion of the ms. Under similar conditions. Some controversial exaggerations have in this way been avoided, and if any still remain they will, I hope, be duly pointed out by other opponents.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intricate relationship between language and thought, specifically within the realm of reasoning. The author challenges the traditional approach to logic, which often relies on rigid formulas and axioms, arguing instead for a more nuanced understanding of how we use words to construct arguments and draw conclusions. Emerging during a time of intellectual ferment, when foundational concepts in various fields were being questioned, this work grapples with fundamental issues such as the nature of classes, the role of definitions, and the limits of formal systems. It explores the challenges posed by ambiguity and indefiniteness in language, and how these factors influence the process of reasoning. By examining the complexities of description and generalization, the author sheds light on the often-overlooked aspects of logical thought. The book delves into the interplay between theory and observation, highlighting the crucial role that background knowledge and assumptions play in shaping our understanding of the world. Ultimately, this book provides a fresh perspective on the art of reasoning, emphasizing the importance of clarity, precision, and a critical awareness of the limitations of language in our pursuit of knowledge and truth.
