Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating realm of logic, exploring its crucial role in guiding our reasoning and illuminating the path towards truth. The author, writing in the early 18th century, contends that logic is not merely an academic pursuit confined to scholarly halls, but a vital tool for navigating the complexities of everyday life. By understanding the principles of perception, judgment, argumentation, and disposition, we equip ourselves to discern truth from falsehood, make sound decisions, and ultimately lead more fulfilling lives. Through clear explanations and insightful observations, the book unpacks the various types of ideas, their origins, and their intricate relationships. It sheds light on the distinctions between substance and mode, the nature of being and non-being, and the often deceptive appearances that can cloud our judgment. By offering a framework for clear and methodical thinking, this book empowers readers to elevate their reasoning abilities and break free from the shackles of error and prejudice.
