The Essentials of Logic, Being Ten Lectures on Judgment and Inference

"The Essentials of Logic, Being Ten Lectures on Judgment and Inference" by Bernard Bosanquet is a series of philosophical lectures from the late 1800s that aims to dissect and clarify logic, especially how we make judgments and draw conclusions. The book argues that understanding logic can be challenging because it requires us to rethink ideas we already know in a new way. Bosanquet introduces the argument that what we know isn't just personal experience, but a collection of judgments and illustrates that making judgments is fundamental to thinking and connects us all. The lectures invite readers to see the world as something built in our minds through logic, linking our individual thoughts to a shared understanding of reality.
