  • Aspects of Modern Logic

    by E.W. Beth ...
    Translated by D.H.J. de Jongh, Susan de Jongh-Kearl ...
    Series series Philosophy and Religion (R0)
    It is common to consider an area of science as a system of real or sup posed truths which not only continuously extends itself, but also needs periodical revision and therefore tests the inventive capacity of each generation of scholars anew. It sounds highly implausible that a science at one time would be completed, that at that point within its scope there would be no problems left to solve. ... Read more

  • Formal Methods

    An Introduction to Symbolic Logic and to the Study of Effective Operations in Arithmetic and Logic

    Edited by E.W. Beth ...
    Series series Philosophy and Religion (R0)
    Many philosophers have considered logical reasoning as an inborn ability of mankind and as a distinctive feature in the human mind; but we all know that the distribution of this capacity, or at any rate its development, is very unequal. Few people are able to set up a cogent argument; others are at least able to follow a logical argument and even to detect logical fallacies. Nevertheless, even ... Read more
