Abstract

Excerpt from Reason, Thought and Language or the Many and the One: A Revised System of Logical Doctrine, in Relation to the Forms of Idiomatic Discourse 1. IF it be the case, as an eminent logician of the new school complains, that throughout the modern textbooks Logic is in a chaotic condition, exhibiting an astonishing diversity of opinion about its province and methods, there may be room for yet another treatise, which shall at least attempt to work out in detail a single and consistent view. The ideal which I set before me is that of a Logic which shall be more consistently formal than the Aristotelian and scholastic tradition, yet in intimate touch with the realities of human thought and language.
