Logic for Use : An Introduction to the Voluntarist Theory of Knowledge

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Logic for Use: An Introduction to the Voluntarist Theory of Knowledge' is a seminal work that redefines the study of logic through the lens of human purpose and action. Departing from the rigid constraints of formal, abstract logic, Ferdinand Canning Scott Schiller presents a voluntarist approach, arguing that human thought and knowledge are deeply rooted in our desires, intentions, and practical needs. The work explores the fundamental connection between logic and life, asserting that the value of any logical system lies in its utility and application to real-world problems.Throughout the volume, the author examines the psychological foundations of reasoning, the nature of truth, and the evolution of cognitive processes. By emphasizing the role of the will in the construction of knowledge, the text challenges traditional intellectualist positions and offers a more dynamic, human-centered perspective on epistemology. 'Logic for Use' serves as both a critique of formalist philosophy and a comprehensive introduction to a pragmatist worldview, making it an essential resource for students of logic, philosophy of mind, and the history of ideas. This work highlights the importance of logic not as a static set of rules, but as a living tool for navigating the complexities of human experience.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
