Abstract
MR. “LEWIS CARROLL'S” new book has both the merit and the sterility which might be expected from a fresh and rather independent system of diagrammatic or visual logic. That is to say, it is ingenious and closely worked out, but cannot be said to advance either our theoretic knowledge of reasoning processes or the more practical craft of dealing with assertions and arguments as found in ordinary life. Perhaps so trying a standard ought not in fairness to be applied to the work before us, which is intended—so the preface and the title hint—to amuse those who would otherwise play with some less instructive puzzle. But it is because it seems unlikely that “The Game of Logic” will be patiently studied as a game, or would reward such patience by providing “an endless source of amusement,” that one is inclined to consider it rather as a contribution to visual logic than to any other form of literature. The Game of Logic. By Lewis Carroll. (London: Macmillan and Co., 1887.)
