The book covers a wide range of topics, including the nature of reasoning, the different forms of argument, the principles of deduction and induction, and the use of syllogisms and diagrams in logical analysis. Bain also discusses the role of logic in science, mathematics, and philosophy, and provides numerous examples and exercises to help readers develop their logical skills. Written in a clear and accessible style, Logic is an essential resource for anyone interested in the study of logic and critical thinking.1870. Contains both parts of this work, Deduction and Induction. Alexander Bain, Scottish philosopher and educationalist, was an early proponent of scientific psychology. Along with his friend, John Stuart Mill, Bain was a major proponent of the British school of empiricism: a theory which based all knowledge on basic sensory experiences and not on introspection. Bain's philosophical and scientific writings were completed during his twenty years as a professor at Aberdeen. The present work aims at embracing a full course of Logic, both Formal and Inductive. The part on Deduction contains the usual doctrines of the Syllogism, with the additions of Hamilton, and a full abstract of the novel and elaborate schemes of De Morgan and Boole. The Inductive portion comprises the methods of inductive research, and all those collateral topics brought forward by Mr. Mill, as part of the problem of Induction; various modifications being made in the manner of statement, the order of topics, and the proportion of the handling. The greatest innovation is the rendering of Cause by the new doctrine called the Conservation, Persistence, or Correlation of Force.
