Description

This is a serious, quietly compelling book—one that belongs to an era when thinking well was considered a discipline worth studying carefully.

The Science of Correct Thinking is a mid-20th-century treatment of classical logic, written clearly and methodically for students, scholars, and thoughtful readers who wanted to understand how reasoning actually works. Celestine N. Bittle approaches logic not as abstraction for abstraction’s sake, but as a practical tool for clear thought, argument, and intellectual honesty.

What makes this volume especially appealing is its evidence of use: the handwritten inscriptions and the loose page of calculations suggest it once actively shaped someone’s education. This isn’t decorative logic—it’s a working book, meant to be read, questioned, and applied.

An excellent choice for readers interested in philosophy, theology, education, rhetoric, or simply sharpening the habits of clear thinking. Also well suited as an unusual and meaningful gift for a writer, teacher, or lifelong learner.
