Symbolic Logic by Lewis Carroll
"Symbolic Logic" by Lewis Carroll is a work on logic and reasoning, likely written in the late 19th century. The book serves as an introduction to the principles of symbolic logic, providing readers with a framework to understand logical propositions and arguments through structured methods. Carroll aims to make the study of logic accessible and engaging, attempting to appeal to a youthful audience. The opening of "Symbolic Logic" features an explanation oflogical premises using examples, including the construction of syllogisms—logical conclusions derived from two premises. Carroll introduces various terms such as "things" and "attributes," laying groundwork for understanding classes and the process of classification in logic. As he discusses how to combine premises and reach conclusions logically, he sets the stage for the more complex concepts that will follow in the subsequent chapters. The detailed, methodical approach indicates that this work not only aims to teach formal logic but also seeks to engage readers in intellectual exploration.
