Logica by Andres Piquer
QR code
"Logica" by Andres Piquer is a scientific publication written in the late 18th century. The text serves as a comprehensive examination of logical reasoning, discussing the principles of artificial logic and its application in various fields of knowledge, primarily focusing on syllogistic reasoning. Piquer aims to clarify the distinctions between reason and logic, emphasizing the importance of understanding fundamental truths as foundational for accurate reasoning. The opening of "Logica" lays the groundwork
by defining the nature and purpose of artificial logic. Piquer explains how human understanding naturally reaches initial truths and the significance of logical combinations to ensure certainty in thoughts. He elaborates on how reasoning, known as syllogism, is the most reliable method for linking thoughts and deriving new conclusions. Additionally, Piquer critiques contemporary philosophers who, in his view, have deviated from true logic, asserting that genuine knowledge is built upon established principles from various sciences. This portion effectively sets the stage for a deeper exploration of logical method and philosophy, conveying a strong argument for a disciplined approach to logical inquiry.
