Spastic Cat Press The Art of Logical Thinking or the Laws of Reasoning by William Walker Atkinson
Reasoning is defined as: The act process or art of exercising the faculty of reason; the act or faculty of employing reason in argument; argumentation ratiocination; reasoning power; disputation discussion argumentation. By the employment of the reasoning faculties of the mind we compare objects presented to the mind as percepts or concepts taking up the raw materials of thought and weaving them into more complex and elaborate mental fabrics which we call abstract and general ideas of truth. In this volume we hope to be able to point out the methods and principles of correctly using the reasoning faculties of the mind in a plain simple manner devoid of useless technicalities and academic discussion. We shall adhere in the main to the principles established by the best of the authorities of the old school of psychology blending the same with those advanced by the best authorities of the New Psychology.show more
