Whenever, in the development of any particular science there has
been a misapprehension of its appropriate sphere, and especially
when wrong principles have been introduced in development, a
reconstruction of the whole science is of course demanded. The
following treatise has been prepared in view of the assumption,
that both these defects exist in important forms in the common
treatises on this subject. Every one is aware, that any given
intellectual process having for its object the establishment of
truth, may fail of its end for one or more of the three following
reasons: 1. The process may be based throughout upon a
misconception of the subject treated of. 2. Invalid premises may be
introduced as the basis of conclusions deduced. 3. Or there may be
a want of connection between the premises and the conclusions
deduced from them. All are equally aware, also, that every valid
process is not only free from each of these defects, but possessed
of the opposite excellences. In examining any such process, then,
three questions are or should be always put, to wit: Has the author
rightly apprehended his subject? Are the premises sound? Is there a
valid connection between the premises and conclusions? In answering
such questions, everyone feels the need of valid criteria by which
he can determine whether the process is or is not valid in each of
these particulars, and in one no less than in either of the others.
The following treatise has been prepared upon the assumption, that
the true and proper sphere of logic is to furnish all these
different criteria, and thus to meet in full the real logical
necessities of the human mind. ASA MAHAN (1799-1889) was America's
foremost Christian educator, reformer, philosopher, and pastor. He
was founding president of two colleges and one university, where he
was able to inspire numerous reforms, publish authoritative
philosophical texts, and promote powerful revivals like his close
associate Charles Finney. He led the way on all important fronts
while being severely persecuted. He introduced the new curriculum
later adopted by Harvard, was the first to instruct and grant
liberal college degrees to white and colored women, advised Lincoln
during the Civil War, and among many other remarkable achievements,
was a father to the early evangelical and holiness movements.
This book explores the concept of the 'hidden curriculum' within
doctoral education. It highlights the unofficial channels of
genuine learning typically acquired by doctoral students
independent of the physical and metaphorical walls of academia. The
doctorate is a huge and complex undertaking which requires a range
of support beyond academic foundations. The exchange between
official and hidden curricula is therefore key, not just for
achieving the qualification, but to also achieve transformative
growth. This book offers a framework for a 'doctoral learning
ecology model' to scaffold learning and sustain wellbeing by
leveraging both formal and hidden curricula. This illuminating book
will be of interest and value to doctoral researchers, supervisors,
and mentors.

government. * An evaluation of the Northern Ireland political
parties, including their role in government, their respective
backgrounds, strategies and policies, and how they have changed
since 1998.
