A Brief Text-Book of Logic and Mental Philosophy

by Charles Coppens

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

[Jacob Lovelace]

Good short book on logic

[Lance]

This book was truly great for critical logic and mental philosophy, here are my pros and cons.

Pros:
He explains critical logic very concisely, with much detail, and interacts with different schools of thought on various occasions.
His work on mental philosophy is very good for a beginner and he explains these concepts well.
Fr. Coppens is well suited for beginners

Cons:
Many printing errors such as misspelled words, missing letters, distortions in the text etc.

Fr.Coppens as a jesuit defends middle knowledge (cringe, read Fr Billuart’s refutation translated by Christian B Wagner)

Very anti evolution of all types (including theistic evolution) however it is worthy of mention that this was written in 1891, before modern evolutionary science.


Overall:
Great book and I definitely recommend it for any level of reader!
