Despite its basically syllogistic character, Richard Whately's Elements of logic (1826) presents the subject in a modern theoretical setting. Whately, for instance, regarded logic as an abstract science, and defined the syllogism as a purely formal device to be used as a means of determining the validity of all arguments. In this paper, I argue that such instances of abstractive ascent place Whately's theory in closer proximity to later 19th-century developments than to the work of his 17th-century predecessors. In addition to discussing the theory itself, other sections deal with its historical setting, and various reactions to it. |
