Description

""Pure Logic Or The Logic Of Quality Apart From Quantity: With Remarks On Boole��s System And On The Relation Of Logic And Mathematics"" is a book written by William Stanley Jevons and originally published in 1864. The book is an exploration of the concept of pure logic, which is the logic of quality apart from quantity. Jevons argues that pure logic is distinct from mathematical logic, which is concerned with the quantitative aspects of logic. The book begins with an introduction to the concept of pure logic, followed by a discussion of the limitations of mathematical logic. Jevons argues that mathematical logic cannot fully capture the nuances of human thought and language, and that pure logic is necessary to fully understand concepts like truth, belief, and knowledge. Jevons also provides a critique of George Boole's system of logic, arguing that it is too limited in its scope and fails to account for the complexities of human thought. He suggests that pure logic is a more comprehensive system that can better capture the subtleties of human reasoning. Overall, ""Pure Logic Or The Logic Of Quality Apart From Quantity"" is a thought-provoking exploration of the nature of logic and its relationship to mathematics. It offers a unique perspective on the limitations of mathematical logic and argues for the importance of pure logic in understanding the complexities of human thought and language.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
