If you have ever wanted to wake up one day and feel smarter, read this book. The explanations are thorough and simple, eloquent and unique. Highly recommended for anybody serious about learning the Humanities.
Like with all Wooden Books, the Trivium is well thought out and full of insight. I work with linguistics in my art and this book is indispensable knowledge that feeds my creative fever/fervor. Get this and others to gain insight on much that is sorely overlooked within Western culture, especially within the States.
Fantastic 10/10. No bent pages, clean hard cover. Smells brand new the book is phenomenal. Thank you amazon.
will not purchase any more of these books.
A very short and concise book, it covers six topics:1. Euphonics (how alphabets sound to a poet?)2. Grammar3. Poetic meter4. Logic (deductive, inductive,...)5. Rhetoric (or how to make a point in speaking or writing)6. EthicsOf these, I particularly liked 2, 4, 5 and 6. These 'chapters' are actually reproductions of slim books available separately (cheaper to buy them together in this binding). Each section is written quite clearly, and serves as good reference / revision if you are already familiar with the matter. If not, it gives you a basic foundation, though it may require careful and focused reading. All the chapters are illustrated in a rather fun way. The writing style is also non-pedantic. Though the book is presented as a classic, the treatment of topics is quite modern and up to date.The binding is rather good - though I found the book a little heavy due to the weight of paper that's been used. The only complaint I have is that the publishers have had a bit too much fun playing around with fonts and typefaces. This can get a little distracting as multiple fonts on the same page make it look cluttered. Some font choices are rather wacky - e.g. a dripping font used for fallacies.Excellent value for money - definitely a book to keep in your collection or to gift to a friend.
It is difficult to surmise this book... however; I believe I have.It is a learning in Logic, Reason, and Rhetoric that predates the modern indoctrination system of education.
I love having all those little books in one fat one. Using it (and Quadrivium) to edumacate my 10 year old son.Bigger print, please. Some of us are over 40 (or 50). If someone wants to take a book camping, they'll bring an iphone.
'Trivium: The Classical Liberal Arts of Grammar, Logic, & Rhetoric' by John Mitchell, Rachel Holley, Octavia Wynne, Earl Fontainelle, Adina Arvatu, Andrew Aberdein, Gregory Beabout, Mike Hannis, Andrew Tetlow, John Martineau, Alice O'Neill, and edited by John MartineauBook review by William Spinger"Logic, therefore, as the science of thought, or the science of the process of pure reason, should be capable of being constructed a priori."-Arthur Schopenhauer, The Art of Controversy("A priori" is defined as deduced from self-evident premises.) "Rhetoric is the art of ruling the minds of men." -Plato" ' How is the dictionary getting on?' Said Winston, raising his voice to overcome the noise.'Slowly,' said Syme. "I'm on the adjectives. It's fascinating.'He had brightened up immediately at the mention of Newspeak ...'The Eleventh Edition is the definitive edition,' he said. ' We're getting the language into its final shape -- the shape it's going to have when nobody speaks anything else. When we've finished with it, people like you will have to learn it all over again. You think, I dare say, that our chief job is inventing new words. But not a bit of it! We're destroying words -- scores of them, hundreds of them, every day. We're cutting the language down to the bone. The Eleventh Edition won't contain a singe word that will become obsolete before the year 2050 ...'It's a beautiful thing, the destruction of words' ...'Don't you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it.' "- George Orwell, '1984'This book, 'Trivium: The Classical Liberal Arts of Grammar, Logic, & Rhetoric', was not designed to honestly teach you logic or rhetoric. It was designed to make you believe that it had taught you something important about those subjects, while in truth it suppressed or obscured essential elements.In order to properly make my point, I should first offer you the three a priori conditions of cogent (logical) reasoning."Fallacious reasoning is just the opposite of what can be called cogent reasoning. We reason cogently when we reason (1) validly; (2) from premises well supported by evidence; and (3) using all relevant evidence we know of. The purpose of avoiding fallacious reasoning is, of course, to increase our chances of reasoning cogently."-Howard Kahane, Logic and Contemporary Rhetoric, 1976, second edition Now, here's what I found wrong with this book.(1) This book never explains that sound or cogent (logical) arguments MUST be properly supported by evidence.(2) This book never explains the logical fallacy of suppressed evidence, or how the suppression of relevant evidence causes an argument to be unsound or uncogent.This book has suppressed two of the three a priori conditions of cogent reasoning! These conditions of cogent reasoning are very effective for the purpose of identifying fallacious rhetoric; that is why they have been omitted from this book.The following is a quote from the book 'Trivium: The Classical Liberal Arts of Grammar, Logic, & Rhetoric', that clearly illustrates my argument. "1. DEDUCTIVE REASONING moves from the general to the particular, producing a necessary conclusion whose truth follows from that of the premises. It is the motor behind the syllogism (see p. 190), other instruments of traditional logic, and modern computers.1. Mythical animals do not really exist.2. Werewolves are mythical animals..•. Werewolves do not do not really exist.Given the truth of the assumptions, a valid deduction will always lead to a true conclusion.2. INDUCTIVE REASONING begins with the particular and proceeds to the general. Things are observed, then a rule of cause is proposed to account for them. This allows for innumerable general laws to be formulated which facilitate our daily lives, and permit science to advance by hypotheses, tests, and theories.1. I see an apple falling from a tree. √2. I see it happen again and again.√3. I form a hypothesis to explain it.√4. Further experiments support my hypothesis and it is elevated to a theory, part of law.√The conclusion is probable, rather than certain, which is why, strictly speaking, no scientific theory is regarded as being true." -'Trivium: The Classical Liberal Arts of Grammar, Logic, & Rhetoric', page 182(There is no explanation about the necessity of sufficient supporting evidence here, or the dangers of suppressing relevant evidence. In addition, this definition of inductive reasoning that is offered is about as narrowly defined and impractical as they could possibly make it.)These kinds deceptive books make sense when you consider that the science of logic hasn't been taught in our State controlled public schools for more than a century ( 'The Underground History of American Education' by John Gatto). And the art of rhetoric is effectively unknown to the vast majority due to State suppression of its teaching. A populace that is properly educated in the science of logic and the art of rhetoric is very hard manipulate with lies. (Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, 'Inventing the AIDS Virus' by Dr Peter Duesberg)Here are some quotes from other noted logicians that directly support, and are very relevant to my argument."We ought in fairness to fight our case with no help beyond the bare facts: nothing, therefore, should matter except the proof of those facts."-Aristotle, Rhetoric"We suppose ourselves to posses unqualified scientific knowledge of a thing, as opposed to knowing it in the accidental way in which the sophist knows, when we think that we know the cause on which the fact depends, as the cause of that fact and of no other, and further, that the fact could not be other than it is".-Aristotle, Posterior Analytics"Aristotle devides all conclusions into logical and dialectical, in the manner described, and then into eristical. (3) Eristic is the method by which the form of the conclusion is correct, but the premises, the material from which it is drawn, are not true, but only appear to be true. Finally (4) sophistic is the method in which the form of the conclusion is false, although it seems correct. These three last properly belong to the art of Controversial Dialectic, as they have no objective truth in view, but only the appearance of it, and pay no regard to truth itself; that is to say, they aim at victory."-Arthur Schopenhauer, The Art of Controversy"The province of Logic must be restricted to that portion of our knowledge which consists of inferences from truths previously known; whether those antecedent data be general propositions, or particular observations and perceptions. Logic is not the science of Belief, but the science of Proof, or Evidence. In so far as belief professes to be founded on proof, the office of Logic is to supply a test for ascertaining whether or not the belief is well grounded."-John Stuart Mill, A System of Logic"Without the presentation of solid evidence no argument can be a good one"-Patrick Hurley, A Concise Introduction to Logic, 1985"The fallacy of suppressed evidence is committed when an arguer ignores evidence that would tend to undermine the premises of an otherwise good argument, causing it to be unsound or uncogent. Suppressed evidence is a fallacy of presumption and is closely related to begging the question. As such, it's occurrence does not affect the relationship between premises and conclusion but rather the alleged truth of premises. The fallacy consists in passing off what are at best half-truths as if they were whole truths, thus making what is actually a defective argument appear to be good. The fallacy is especially common among arguers who have a vested interest in the situation to which the argument pertains."-Patrick Hurley, A Concise Introduction to Logic, 1985"A sound argument is a deductive argument that is valid and has true premises. Both conditions must be met for an argument to be sound, and if either is missing the argument is unsound. The qualification that the premises must be true means that all premises must be true. Because a valid argument is one such that if the premises are true it necessarily follows that the conclusion is true, and because a sound argument does in fact have true premises, it follows that every sound argument, by definition, will have a true conclusions as well. A sound argument, therefore, is what is meant by a "good" deductive argument in the fullest sense of the term."-Patrick Hurley, A Concise Introduction to Logic, 1985"A cogent argument is an inductive argument that is strong and has true premises, and if either condition is missing the argument is uncogent. A cogent argument is the inductive analogue of a sound deductive argument and is what is meant by a " good" inductive argument without qualification. Because the conclusion of a cogent argument is genuinely supported by true premises, it follows that the conclusion of every cogent argument is probably true."-Patrick Hurley, A Concise Introduction to Logic, 1985
