Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines logic from the perspective that all reasoning equates to different cases of one uniform process, which is best described as the substitution of similars. This process is not limited to numbers, but applies to the concepts themselves. The author argues that the essence of reasoning is replacing one thing with another. Logic has its roots in the work of Aristotle, who provided a model that remained largely unchanged for centuries, which the author argues had several fundamental flaws. This book explains the impact of these flaws and provides a historical context for the work of recent influential logical thinkers including Boole, Hamilton, Thomson, and Mill, who have built on and challenged earlier models in the field. The author's approach has the potential to simplify and enhance logical systems by drawing clear parallels between logic and mathematics.
