Reformed Logic / A System Based on Berkeley's Philosophy with an Entirely New Method of Dialectic

The treatise proposes a system of logic grounded in a modified Berkeleyan substantialism, presenting mind as composed of Self and a plastic substance and viewing the body as an apparatus of perception. It critiques both prevailing idealist and realistic metaphysics, contends that categories and substantial relations are essential to logical theory, and distinguishes intellectual, sentimental, and moral functions of consciousness. Topics analyzed include perception, ideas, memory, imagination, generalisation, causation, and the taxonomy of categories such as inherence, association, depth, material sequence, and concretion. The work also formulates a new method of dialectic with rules for constructing and criticizing arguments, handling hypotheticals and dilemmas, detecting fallacies, and adapting language for clear reasoning and pedagogy.
