Summary: "The Art of Logical Thinking; Or, The Laws of Reasoning" by William Walker Atkinson is a non-fiction guide on the principles of logical reasoning written in the early 20th century. The book explores the various methods and processes of reasoning, focusing on both inductive and deductive reasoning, as well as the formation and use of concepts and judgments. Atkinson aims to provide readers with practical insights into improving their reasoning skills, highlighting the importance of correct reasoning for success in various aspects of life. The opening of the book introduces the concept of reasoning, defining it as the exercise of the faculty of reason in forming judgments and arguments. Atkinson emphasizes that everyone engages in reasoning but often does so incorrectly, leading to misunderstandings and acceptance of false ideas. He illustrates this by discussing how flawed reasoning can be observed in common beliefs related to religion and politics. The author sets the stage for further exploration of reasoning techniques, stressing the need for intellectual development and mastery of logical concepts to combat illogical thinking and ineffective reasoning processes.
