The second section covers the rules of inference, including the laws of identity, contradiction, and excluded middle, as well as the principles of conversion, obversion, and contraposition. The third section focuses on the principles of syllogism, including the different types of syllogisms and their rules of validity.Throughout the book, McCosh provides numerous examples and exercises to help readers understand and apply the principles of formal logic. He also includes a number of historical and philosophical discussions, highlighting the importance of logic in the history of philosophy and its relevance to contemporary debates.Overall, The Laws of Discursive Thought: Being a Textbook of Formal Logic is an essential resource for anyone interested in the principles of logical reasoning, from students and scholars of philosophy to professionals in fields such as law, science, and engineering.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
