Book Description
Excerpt from Formal Logic: A Scientific and Social Problem The present work, however, is only intended to achieve the former, and intrinsically the less important, of these aims. It is an attempt to expound the traditional doctrine strictly, in its dependence on its fundamental assumption, viz. That it is possible to study the formal frat/z of thought irrespective of its truth in point of fact, and to show that this fundamental abstraction everywhere leads to failure, failure both to account for the procedures of human thinking and failure to attain even formal consistency. Thus the various defects of the Formal doctrine are all derived from the falsity of the initial principle which defines the 'science.' I confess that to myself the discovery of the source of Logic's troubles came as a great relief. For, in common with most teachers of Formal Logic, I had found it a very difficult subject to teach without loss of self-respect. It so constantly seemed to be necessary to slur over the real difficulties to which the traditional doctrines conduct honest thinking, to palliate masses of inconsistency in what professes to be a logic of formal consistency, to refuse arbitrarily to pursue the problems raised, on the plea that they extended beyond the field of Logic into 'metaphysics' or 'psychology, ' and to draw the line between the 'logical' and the 'extra-logical in a wholly illogical manner. All logicians, I believe, have felt these difficulties more or less, and seen that nothing is easier than to attack and condemn Formal Logic with its own weapons. Indeed in the details of its criticisms this book will probably be found to present little that is wholly new. What alone may claim to be something of a novelty is the diagnosis of the malady which has paralysed Logic from the beginning, and rendered it so unsatisfactory a subject of instruction, and so impotent to guide the course of human thinking. It is not possible to abstract from the actual use of the logical material and to consider 'forms of thought in themselves, without incurring thereby a total loss, not only of truth but also of meaning.

Book Description
Excerpt from Formal Logic: A Scientific and Social Problem For over two thousand years Formal Logic has been a stock subject of academic instruction. It has been established and endowed with a multitude of official defenders chosen from the ablest and acutest intelligences the human race has produced. Its subject-matter, moreover, is so far from being recondite that it should be familiar to every rational being. It professes to study an operation every one professes to perform habitually, viz. thinking, and to explain how we ought to think. It might be supposed, therefore, that by this time the subject of Logic was completely explored, that every embellishment of technicality had been added, and every logical question settled beyond a shadow of a doubt. Instead of this, what do we find? Not only that ordinary human thinking continues to pay scant respect to Logic, but that the logicians themselves continue to differ widely as to the nature, the function, the value, and even the existence, of their science. Nor has Formal Logic, despite its establishment, ever quite been able to silence the voice of the critic. Of late criticisms have so multiplied in number and increased in severity, and that among the very professionals who seemed pledged to uphold the doctrines on which their dignity and livelihood depended, that it is hard to see how a study which labours under such imputations can be called scientific.
