Description
Perhaps this book will be understood only by someone who has himself already had the thoughts that are expressed in it-or at least similar thoughts.
-So it is not a textbook.
-Its purpose would be achieved if it gave pleasure to one person who read and understood it.
The book deals with the problems of philosophy, and shows, I believe, that the reason why these problems are posed is that the logic of our language is mis-understood. The whole sense...

Taken from his lecture notes on his introductory course on logic, Kant's philosophies in "Logic" describe his thoughts on the mental process and how it should be applied in life. Kant never set out to write a book on the subject, but his graduate student Gottlob Jaesche gathered his mentor's lecture notes together and added his own observations and explanations to the preexisting text. Included in the philosophy are historical explanations of Kant's...

This edition includes a modern introduction and a list of suggested further reading. Before 1854 when George Boole published The Laws of Thought, the subject of 'logic' in the western world was entirely restricted to the study of the Aristotelian syllogism, which was as old as 384-322 BC. In this work, Boole introduces a sort of algebra of propositions with probability. Boole's logic forms the basis for present day Boolean Algebra, which in turn lies...

Este libro aborda el fenómeno del pensar como el acto creativo que, en esencia, define nuestra especie. Cuando pensamos, no lo hacemos de una única manera; esto es, con una sola lógica. Pensamos de múltiples maneras simultáneamente, digamos, en paralelo y de forma distribuida; llevamos a cabo saltos de pensamiento, saltos de imaginación. En este sentido, pensar es más que un fenómeno biológico, es también un proceso social y cultural. Así...

The entire purpose of this book was to find a new way of looking at the world. As I mentioned in the beginning, no one can claim that he has answers to all the questions. The more answers we find, the more questions are raised. But I think this book offers a new way to look at and understand the problem. It at least brings me a little comfort that not all we are doing is worthless, and that one day, Gd willing, we will find answers to all the questions....

A major figure in German Idealism, early 19th century philosopher G.W.F. Hegel developed a comprehensive philosophical framework, referred to as "Absolute Idealism" which sought to describe the relation between mind and nature. Underpinning the framework of this philosophy is the assertion that in order for the human consciousness to understand the world at all there must be in some sense an identity of thought and being.
