(George Jacob) A Logic of Facts; Or, Every-day Reasoning Produced by David Widger "A Logic of Facts; Or, Every-day Reasoning" by George Jacob Holyoake is a philosophical treatise written in the mid-19th century. The book contemplates the nature of logical reasoning, arguing that traditional academic logic often fails to address practical reasoning essential for everyday life. Holyoake seeks to empower the working class, emphasizing the importance of clear reasoning grounded in practical observation and accessible knowledge. The opening of the work sets the stage for Holyoake's exploration by critiquing the established educational systems that prioritize complex syllogisms over common sense and practical reasoning. He laments the disconnect between scholarly logic and the daily reasoning of the populace, advocating for a logic that is more tangible and applicable to real-life situations. The early chapters present a series of reflections on the insufficiencies of traditional logic, arguing for an understanding of reasoning that begins with observable facts and aims to make logical principles accessible to all, regardless of their educational background. Holyoake emphasizes the necessity of understanding the premises upon which reasoning is based, suggesting a fundamental overhaul of how reasoning is taught and practiced in society.
