A Class Room Logic: Deductive and Inductive, with Special Application to the Science and Art of Teaching
McNair, George Hastings
Logic
(15) Give illustrations of individual propositions. How are they
usually classified?
(16) Explain the logical mode of dealing with the plurative
proposition.
(17) Exemplify the ambiguity of “all-not,” “some” and “few.”
(18) Why are propositions introduced by “all-not,” “some” and “few”
called partitive?
(19) Use “_all_” in both a partitive and collective sense. Which
signification has logic adopted?
(20) When are exceptive propositions universal and when particular?
(21) What is an exclusive proposition?
(22) Explain by circles the exclusive.
(23) Tell in full how to change an exclusive to logical form.
(24) Tell how the logician would deal with such poetical expressions
as “Blessed are the pure in heart,” “Tell me not in mournful
numbers,” “Strenuous is the man of state.”
(25) What distinction does the logician make between analytic and
synthetic propositions?
(26) Illustrate the difference between the so-called modal and pure
propositions.
(27) Explain and illustrate the truistic proposition.
(28) Show by circles the relation existing between the subject and
predicate of all the logical propositions.
(29) State in good English the relation between the subject and
predicate of all the logical propositions.
(30) Relative to the distribution of terms apply the words “uaesneop”
and “asebinop.” Which one is the more serviceable?
(31) Distinguish between the grammatical and logical subject.
(32) Explain by circles the distribution of the terms of the four
logical propositions.
(33) The statement, “A part of the subject is excluded from the whole
of the predicate,” describes which proposition? Explain how it
indicates that the predicate is distributed.
=13. QUESTIONS FOR ORIGINAL THOUGHT AND INVESTIGATION.=
(1) Show that a judgment may be an individual notion as well as a
general notion.
(2) Many logicians classify logical propositions in this wise:
{ Categorical
Proposition {
{ Conditional { Hypothetical
{ Disjunctive
Give arguments for and against such a classification.
(3) “All men are bipeds” is a judgment of extension, while “Man is
wise” is a judgment of intension. Explain.
(4) “To be logical is to be pedantic.” Discuss this.
(5) Why is the proposition, “He runs,” illogical? Make it logical.
(6) Point out the reasons for calling, “White men are Caucasians,”
a particular proposition.
(7) What makes it necessary to change the propositions of ordinary
conversation to those of the four logical types?
(8) Some would call the individual proposition particular. Argue the
question.
(9) Make a list of five propositions in common speech and show how
their partitive implication may mislead.
(10) Explain by circles _some only_ and _some at least_.
