Quote from ‘Lecture I [R]’

Term: 
Critic
Quote: 

[Methodeutic] is not possible until the logician has first examined all the different elementary modes of getting at truth and especially all the different classes of arguments and has studied their properties so far as these properties concern power of the arguments as leading to the truth. This part of logic is called Critic.
