Excerpt from The Science of Logic, Vol. 1 of 2: An Inquiry Into the Principles of Accurate Thought and Scientific Method; Conception, Judgment, and Inference The aim and scope of this treatise are more modest than perhaps its dimensions might suggest. It attempts, in the first place, to present in a simple way the Principles of the Traditional Logic expounded by Aristotle and his Scholastic interpreters; secondly, to show how the philo sophical teachings of Aristotle and the Schoolmen con tain the true basis for modern methods of scientific investigation, inductive no less than deductive and finally, to extend, rather than supplement, the traditional body of logical doctrine by applying the latter to some logical problems raised in more recent times. But the treatment throughout is confined mainly to principles, and is meant to be suggestive rather than exhaustive.
