Abstract
“THROUGHOUT this book ‘formal’ logic is identified not only with the logic which expressly calls itself formal, or ‘deductive,’ but with any logic which, like the ordinary ‘inductive’ logic, is, in fact, more formal than it professes to be. Wherever actual application and its difficulties are ignored, there is formality of a harmful kind.”
