Book Overview

Pure Logic and Other Minor Works is a collection of essays and lectures written by the British philosopher and economist William Stanley Jevons. Originally published in 1890, the book includes several of Jevons' most influential works on logic, including his groundbreaking essay ""The Principles of Science: A Treatise on Logic and Scientific Method.""In this essay, Jevons argues that logic is not just a tool for reasoning, but a fundamental part of the scientific method.

Jevons' economic writings focus on the theory of exchange value and the role of money in the economy. He also explores the ethics of gambling and the nature of probability.Overall, Pure Logic and Other Minor Works is a comprehensive introduction to Jevons' philosophical and economic thought.
