Elementary logic



Books on Logic often begin with what professes to be a definition of Science. And if by a definition all that is meant is a vague general statement of aim or purpose, that is easy to give; the aim of Logic, always and everywhere, is to study the difference between good and bad reasoning. Even the loftiest and least mundane kind of Logic cannot really escape from this purpose; for what interest could there be in ideally perfect truths if no one was ever in the least danger of forgetting them? 

It was the liability of mankind to reason badly that first called Logic into existence, and that still makes the study worthwhile, and to confess its lack of power to detect bad reasoning, or to boast of a lack of interest in doing this, would be fatal to its claims. The general aim of Logic, then, is clear. But real difficulties begin as soon as we try to get the " scope and method " of the Science into its definition, for thereby we run a risk of begging the very important question of whether a particular limitation of scope or a particular method, is a help or a hindrance in achieving the aim. 

There is no general agreement on this point. Indeed that is a mild way of putting it, for we live in times when there is a widespread and growing revolt against certain old methods and old limitations of Logic which have come down to us by tradition. At present they still survive in the examination room, and they still have a harmful in- fluence on some kinds of philosophy, but both in science and in ordinary life they are almost universally reckoned as out of date. 

At the present day, we may safely admit that the best reason for knowing something about the old system is in order to see exactly why modern Logic has been driven to make certain far-reaching departures from it. This book, therefore, attempts to give some account, for beginners, of both the old system and the new. Logic is here treated (i) as a carefully limited subject to get up for an elementary examination; and (2) as a free study of some of the chief risks of error in reasoning. For the former purpose, we must be content to take the traditional doctrines and technicalities as obediently as we can, making light of the serious difficulties in them and treating them mainly as rules and definitions that have to be learned with a particular end in view. On the other hand, for the latter purpose, a different method is necessary. 

Even an elementary treatment of the real risks of reasoning will require a fundamental change of attitude towards the old Logic. Here we must rely on modern ways of thought — modern philosophy, science, and common sense; we must allow free criticism of the assumptions and the self-imposed limitations of the old Logic; and, without refusing to benefit by tradition wherever we find it helpful, we must recognise also its power of hampering and misleading the operations of our reason. 

Desirable as it might be to keep these two modes of logical study separate, it is almost impossible to avoid giving some hints of the deep defects of the old doctrines and the old definitions, in the process of explaining them. But as help against the confusion of the two points of view I shall adopt the plan of spelling the traditional Logic' ' Also Logical, Logically, and Logician.
