The Logic Of Sir William Hamilton

By William Hamilton and Henry Noble Day William Hamilton

Book Overview

The Logic of Sir William Hamilton is a book written by Sir William Hamilton, a Scottish philosopher who lived in the 19th century. The book is a comprehensive study of logic, which is the study of reasoning and argumentation. Hamilton's approach to logic is based on the idea that there are certain fundamental principles that underlie all reasoning, and that these principles can be discovered and studied through careful analysis of language and thought.The book begins with an overview of the history of logic, from the ancient Greeks to the modern era. Hamilton then introduces his own system of logic, which he calls the ""doctrine of the quantification of the predicate."" This system is based on the idea that every proposition can be expressed in terms of a subject and a predicate, and that the relationship between the two can be quantified.Hamilton's system of logic is highly technical and requires a strong background in philosophy and mathematics to fully understand. However, the book is also highly engaging and thought-provoking, and provides a fascinating glimpse into the mind of one of the greatest thinkers of the 19th century.Overall, The Logic of Sir William Hamilton is a must-read for anyone interested in philosophy, logic, or the history of ideas. It is a classic work that continues to influence the field of logic to this day, and is essential reading for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of this important subject.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
