 | The Province of Logic: An Interpretation of Certain Parts of Cook Wilson's “Statement and Inference” Subjects: Humanities; Mathematics & Statistics; Philosophy; History & Philosophy of Mathematics; Advanced Mathematics; History of Philosophy; Logic - Philosophy; Philosophy of Science; Mathematical Logic; Originally published in 1931. This inquiry investigates and develops John Cook Wilson's view of the province of logic. It bases the study on the posthumous collected papers Statement and Inference. The author seeks to answer questions on the nature of logic using Cook Wilson's thought. The chapters introduce and consider topics from metaphysics to grammar and from psychology to knowledge. An early conception of logic in the sciences and presenting the work of an important twentieth century philosopher, this is an engaging work.
