The Essentials of Logic by Bernard Bosanquet, published in 1926, delves into the complex and often challenging science of logic.
In the first lecture, Bosanquet addresses the difficulty of the subject and presents the problem of logic as the world as an idea.
He explores different perspectives on the world, including the animal's world, the world as 'objective', and the distinction between common sense and philosophical theories.
Bosanquet also discusses the concept of separate 'worlds' and delves into subjective idealism.
In the second lecture, Bosanquet focuses on judgment as the consciousness of a world. He critiques subjective idealism and emphasizes the world as knowledge, which is in the form of content.
He breaks down knowledge into necessary, universal, and constructive components, highlighting the continuous affirmation of waking consciousness. Bosanquet also explores the comparison between the world as will and the distribution of attention.
Throughout the book, Bosanquet maintains a clear and concise writing style, making complex philosophical concepts accessible to readers. The Essentials of Logic serves as a valuable resource for those looking to deepen their understanding of logic and its implications for our perception of the world.
