Excerpt from The Applications of Logic: A Text-Book for College Students
For the epistemology of the book no excuses are offered. It is, like every theory with a philosophic basis, susceptible of attack. The changes also that could be made in the exposition of it are numberless. These, however, as far as they now occur to me, would lie along the direction of greater accuracy of statement, and might serve merely to confuse the beginner. Again, since the book is not a formal treatise on logic, but deals mainly with the applica tions of logical principles, no apology need be made for the substitution in some cases of simpler distinctions, such as suited the main lines of thought of the book, for certain familiar terms. The treatment of the syllogism, for instance, is here made to depend upon substance rather than upon form. It therefore loses in relative importance and falls back into its natural position in the whole perspective of the subject.
A list of my general obligations would be cumbersomely long. I owe special thanks to a short treatise by Mary Boole, to the writings of Bradley and Alfred Sidgwick.
