Emily Elizabeth Constance Jones (1848-1922) was an English logician
and contemporary of Bertrand Russell, as well as Mistress of Girton
College, Cambridge. In this book, originally published in 1911, she
argues for the existence of another fundamental law of thought to
join the Law of Contradiction and the Law of Excluded Middle: the
Law of Significant Assertion. This book will be of value to anyone
with an interest in logic or in Jones' work.
One of the most influential of the Victorian philosophers, Henry
Sidgwick (1838-1900) also made important contributions to fields
such as economics, political theory, and classics. An active
champion of higher education for women, he founded Cambridge's
Newnham College in 1871. He attended Rugby School and then Trinity
College, Cambridge, where he remained his whole career. In 1859 he
took up a lectureship in classics, and held this post for ten
years. In 1869, he moved to a lectureship in moral philosophy, the
subject where he left his greatest mark. Published posthumously in
1902, this work is Sidgwick's expository critique of the leading
schools of thought that had emerged to rival his philosophy of
utilitarianism, which he had presented previously in his
masterpiece The Methods of Ethics (also reissued in this series).
