Logic, deductive and inductive

by Carveth Read

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

This is by far the worst book I have read. The title completely opposes its contents. The book attempts to explain the psychology behind logic but fails to understand the psychology of its readers. The sentences at times greatly lack "logical" connections and use unnecessarily complicated words. The sentences are run ons amongst run ons amongst run ons amongst....... I think you get the jest. All in all I would recommend each and every one to never attempt to read this. If I could I would give it -ve stars.

I really enjoyed this book. I've been looking for a book that is a good discussion of logic. The first half of this book is an in depth discussion of the theories of logic. The second half of the book is a history of how logic has influenced the field of philosophy through the ages.
