Pure Logic (Classic Reprint): Or the Logic of Quality Apart From Quantity; With Remarks on Boole's System and on the Relation of Logic and ... of Logic and Mathematics (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Pure logic aims to simplify reasoning by focusing on quality rather than quantity. This edition presents a theory that compares the sameness and difference of meanings, offering a fresh approach to how we think about terms and propositions.

In these pages, the author argues that logic can be clearer when we separate reasoning about the content of ideas from their numerical or measurable aspects. The book explores how terms carry meaning, how judgments about similarity and difference shape inference, and how a quality‑based system relates to traditional and Boolean logic. It also discusses how to handle complex terms, definitions, and the role of language in logical analysis.

• Learn a new method for evaluating how terms express meaning in intent and extent.


• See how indirect inference and the treatment of complex terms can streamline argumentation.


• Compare logic of quality with classical logic and Boole’s system, with practical examples.


• Understand the scope and limits of a qualitative approach to reasoning.
