An Introductory Logic (1902)

An Introductory Logic is a book written by James Edwin Creighton and first published in 1902. The book is designed to be a comprehensive introduction to the study of logic, covering topics such as the nature of reasoning, the structure of arguments, and the principles of deductive and inductive reasoning. The book is divided into four parts, each of which explores a different aspect of logic. Part One introduces the basic concepts of logic and provides an overview of the different types of arguments. Part Two focuses on the principles of deductive reasoning, including syllogisms, propositional logic, and predicate logic. Part Three explores the principles of inductive reasoning, including generalization, analogy, and statistical reasoning. Finally, Part Four examines the relationship between logic and other fields of study, such as ethics, metaphysics, and epistemology.Throughout the book, Creighton provides numerous examples and exercises to help readers understand the concepts presented. He also includes a glossary of key terms and a bibliography for further reading. Overall, An Introductory Logic is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the study of logic, whether as a student, teacher, or general reader.
