Logic, edited by Jäsche
This handbook presents general logic as the study of formal rules of thought, then examines concepts, judgments and inferences.
Understanding the text
Gottlob Benjamin Jäsche prepared it from materials supplied by Kant; this is an authorized edition rather than a continuous manuscript wholly written for publication.
Key points
- 01
Form
General logic abstracts from differences among objects of knowledge.
- 02
Judgment
Relations between concepts require distinctions that ordinary language can obscure.
- 03
Method
Definition, division and demonstration organize the scientific presentation of knowledge.
How to read it
Retain the editor’s name in your reference. Compare formulations with lectures and Critiques without treating every difference as a contradiction deliberately intended by Kant.
