Abstract

THIS very able little book goes a long way to prove that logic is a human science, and not merely a more or less coherent collection of dry and irrelevant dogmas. The grounds of our beliefs, the purpose of thinking, the importance of form, and the fundamental principles of deduction and induction are analysed and explained in a way that should make their understanding easy and interesting. What adds to the value of Dr. Stebbing s book is the choice of the examples, which should make nonsense of the frequent reproach that formal logic is an idle game. Logic in Practice. By Prof. L. Susan Stebbing. (Methuen's Monographs on Philosophy and Psychology.) Pp. ix + 113. (London: Methuen and Co., Ltd., 1934.) 2s. 6d. net.
