About This Book

A systematic examination of the principles and methods by which evidence is gathered and conclusions are drawn, beginning with a careful analysis of language—names, propositions, and their meanings—to clarify how assertions convey information. It treats ratiocative reasoning and the role of syllogism, reconciles rival views on formal inference, and develops a generalized theory of induction that extracts rules from scientific practice. The work then considers how these methods can be applied beyond the physical sciences to moral and social phenomena, asking to what extent similar procedures can secure reliable knowledge in those domains.
