{"product_id":"logic-as-a-positive-science","title":"Logic as a Positive Science","description":"\u003ci\u003eLogic as a Positive Science\u003c\/i\u003e represents the fruit of more than two decades of the philosophical work of Galvano Della Volpe. Its publication was first announced in 1947 under the title \u003ci\u003eCritica del 'Conosci te stesso'\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003eCritique of 'Know Thyself'\u003c\/i\u003e) and in 1948 as the 'second edition' of \u003ci\u003eCritica dei princípi logici\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003eCritique of Logical Principles\u003c\/i\u003e), a study of Kant and Hegel first published in the early 1940s, before Delia Volpe became a Marxist. As late as January 1951 an article in the journal \u003ci\u003ePensiero critico\u003c\/i\u003e announced it yet again, this time as \u003ci\u003eIntroduzione materialistica alla logica\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003eMaterialist Introduction to Logic\u003c\/i\u003e). But this article was published many months after its submission to the journal, and the first edition of \u003ci\u003eLogica come scienza positiva\u003c\/i\u003e had in fact appeared in August 1950. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe central concern of \u003ci\u003eLogic as a Positive Science\u003c\/i\u003e is to establish a scientific logic free of any aprioristic speculation. Delia Volpe argues that there can be no specifically philosophical logic, or method of producing true knowledge. On the contrary, there is only one logic and one method: that of modern, experimental science. The establishment of this proposition is, according to the dictates of his method itself, part and parcel of a description of what that logic is, and how it is distinct from and superior to any other. Della Volpe maintains that the liberation of philosophy from idealist speculation is itself a historical process, and critical consideration of that process is integral to the constitution of a genuinely scientific logic and methodology.","brand":"Verso Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54242457583960,"sku":"9780860910312","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780860910312.jpg?v=1781939743","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/logic-as-a-positive-science","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
