Originally published in 1934. This fourth edition originally
published 1954., revised by C. W. K. Mundle. "It must be the desire
of every reasonable person to know how to justify a contention
which is of sufficient importance to be seriously questioned. The
explicit formulation of the principles of sound reasoning is the
concern of Logic". This book discusses the habit of sound reasoning
which is acquired by consciously attending to the logical
principles of sound reasoning, in order to apply them to test the
soundness of arguments. It isn't an introduction to logic but it
encourages the practice of logic, of deciding whether reasons in
argument are sound or unsound. Stress is laid upon the importance
of considering language, which is a key instrument of our thinking
and is imperfect.

First published in 1943, and revised for this 1952 edition, this
book was intended for use by students of philosophy and as such
traditional and modern developments in logic have been combined in
a unified treatment. The author envisaged this volume as filling a
gap for a simple, introductory text on formal logic, written from a
modern point of view, unencumbered by traditional doctrine. This
title provides a thorough introduction and grounding in the
philosophy of logic, and was later revised after the author's death
to correct a number of logical errors - making this edition the
most complete version of the work.

Originally published in 1914, this book examines the French
Voluntarist school of philosophy and the key ways in which it
differs from the Pragmatists. Stebbing argues that Voluntarism and
Pragmatism both prove inadequate in their definition of truth, and
suggests that an acknowledgment of the 'non-existential character
of truth' is needed. This book will be of value to anyone with an
interest in philosophy.
