E-raamat: Logic theory research 1

In the first part of his groundbreaking book, Logic: A Theory of Inquiry, John Dewey reviews the close relationship between science and logic, explaining how logical theories change as the foundations of science change in each era. Dewey provides an in-depth analysis of how different philosophies influenced the development of logic, drawing on Aristotle''s philosophy as a reference, and discusses how Aristotelian logic was a precise expression of Greek scientific thought. He points out that the modern era requires a new logic that is in line with contemporary scientific foundations, which is provided by pragmatism, which considers that logical propositions are not true or false, but rather express means to achieve certain goals. The book provokes the reader to think about the practical meanings of logic and how it can help achieve knowledge rather than simply being a set of theoretical rules. Through this work, Dewey offers a new vision of logic that transcends traditional frameworks, making it an essential book for anyone interested in understanding scientific philosophy and its practical applications.
