THE ART OF LOGICAL THINKING Or The Laws of Reasoning

How do you think? How do you arrive at your beliefs? "The masses of people accept the most absurd ideas as truth, providing they are gravely asserted by someone claiming authority. The most illogical ideas are accepted without dispute or examination, providing they are stated solemnly and authoritatively. Particularly in the respective fields of religion and politics do we find this blind acceptance of illogical ideas by the multitude. Mere assertion by the leaders seems sufficient for the multitude of followers to acquiesce." William Walker Atkinson In his book 'The Art of Logical Thinking' (first published in 1909), William Walker Atkinson explores the theory of logic and abstract thinking and offers invaluable advice on using your mind to its full potential and the ability to think correctly.
