Opis

British theologian ISAAC WATTS (1674-1748) wrote more than 750 hymns, many of which are still performed today. But he was also a profoundly influential thinker in the realms of logic and general philosophy-he is said to have inspired his fellow Englishman, electricity pioneer Michael Faraday. This volume was an enormous success when it was first published in 1724, and went through numerous editions-this is a replica of an 1825 reprinting. (Watts equally popular 1741 follow-up, The Improvement of the Mind, is also available from Cosimo).Here youll learn:. What is logic. The differences between perception and ideas. How words and language are translated into knowledge. The power behind the human drive to name objects and concepts. Understanding judgment and prejudice. Reasoning and syllogism. And much more.
