Logic: Deductive and Inductive
Carveth Read, a British philosopher who taught at University College London, first published Logic: Deductive and Inductive in 1898 as a textbook for students, and it went through many editions. Following the tradition of John Stuart Mill, it explains propositions and terms, immediate inference and the syllogism, then turns to induction: the laws of nature, causation, observation and experiment, the methods of agreement and difference, hypotheses, probability and chance, classification, definition and fallacies. Read writes with clarity and dry wit, and his examples, drawn from science and everyday reasoning, keep the subject concrete. It remains a solid introduction to classical logic and the method of the sciences. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
