Formal Logic

Viac o knihe

Exploring the rich history of logic, the book delves into various forms including Aristotelian syllogisms, Kant's transcendental logic, and Hegel's dialectical logic, alongside mathematical logic from Whitehead and Russell. It distinguishes between formal logic, which relies solely on the structure of arguments, and other forms of reasoning. The text illustrates formal-logical inference through examples, emphasizing how the validity of conclusions is determined by sentence structure rather than the truth of the statements involved.
