Syllabus Of A Proposed System Of Logic (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781430488873)

Syllabus Of A Proposed System Of Logic is a book written by Augustus De Morgan, originally published in 1860. The book is a proposal for a new system of logic, which De Morgan believed would be more comprehensive and systematic than the existing systems of his time. The book is divided into four parts, each of which deals with a different aspect of the proposed system. Part one presents the basic concepts and principles of the system, including the nature of reasoning and the role of language in logic. Part two explores the various types of reasoning, such as induction and deduction, and how they can be used to arrive at valid conclusions. Part three focuses on the application of the proposed system to specific fields, such as mathematics and natural science. De Morgan argues that the proposed system can provide a more rigorous and precise approach to these disciplines, and can help to resolve some of the controversies and inconsistencies that exist within them. Finally, part four addresses some of the objections and criticisms that might be raised against the proposed system, and offers responses to these challenges. Throughout the book, De Morgan emphasizes the importance of clarity, precision, and consistency in reasoning, and argues that the proposed system can help to achieve these goals. Overall, Syllabus Of A Proposed System Of Logic is a challenging and thought-provoking work that offers a new perspective on the nature of reasoning and the role of logic in human thought. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history and philosophy of logic, as well as for those who are interested in developing more rigorous and systematic methods of reasoning.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
