Logic and Epistemology provides a comprehensive introduction to the fundamental branches of philosophy concerned with the rules of correct reasoning and the nature of human knowledge. Authored by A. C. Cotter, S.J., the work is deeply rooted in the Scholastic tradition, offering a systematic exploration of how the mind attains truth and avoids error.
The first section, dedicated to Logic, examines the structures of thought, including terms, propositions, and syllogisms, guiding the reader through the formal principles of deductive and inductive reasoning. The second section focuses on Epistemology, or the theory of knowledge, addressing critical questions regarding the possibility of certainty, the validity of sense perception, and the foundations of intellectual conviction. Designed with clarity and pedagogical precision, the text serves as a valuable resource for students of philosophy and those interested in the rigorous application of thought. It emphasizes the harmony between reason and reality, a hallmark of the Jesuit intellectual legacy, while providing a robust framework for understanding the objective principles of human cognition.
