Abstract
THIS book is the author's fourth on the subject, but only one other, “How We Think”, is listed in the English Reference Catalogue. The present work is suited to more advanced students: it is discursive and controversial in manner, and Mr. Dewey's characteristic style will not encourage the puzzled beginner. It views logic—somewhat strenuously—as the study of the methods of solving problems.
