British theologian ISAAC WATTS (1674-1748) wrote more than 750 hymns, many of which are still performed today. But he was also a profoundly influential thinker in the realms of logic and general philosophy-he is said to have inspired his fellow Englishman, electricity pioneer Michael Faraday. This volume was an enormous success when it was first published in 1724, and went through numerous editions-this is a replica of an 1825 reprinting. (Watts' equally popular 1741 follow-up, The Improvement of the Mind, is also available from Cosimo). Here you'll learn: . What is logic . The differences between perception and ideas . How words and language are translated into knowledge . The power behind the human drive to name objects and concepts . Understanding judgment and prejudice . Reasoning and syllogism . And much more.

Praise for this book

Fuzzy thinking is one of the great sins of our age. Christians who seek a return to the clear-mindedness which characterized the church of previous generations will certainly welcome the return of this great text. The clear devotion of Watts' hymns came from a clear mind--and that was no accident.
