Book excerpt: Excerpt from Palaestra Logica A discussion of the 'value of logic' and other matters often treated as introductory, will be found in Part II, ch. XII, zo4ff. It must always be remembered that, though 'logic' strictly speaking 'has nothing to do with the feelings or the will, ' yet the 'estimation of evidence, ' in ordinary life at least, is often, rightly or wrongly, mixed up with states of the feelings or will; and that the reasoning man contemplated by logic, out side the sphere of pure science, is nearly as much an abstraction as the man in the old 'political economy' books who thinks only of profit and loss. The editors wish further to warn their readers that, though they believe that the statements usually made as part of formal logic are, if reasonably construed, true, they fully realise the narrow and wooden character of many of these statements.
