ENGLISH SUMMARY
What meaning and approaches to the interpretation given to The
art of thinking from the contemporary concept of the logic of ideas?
The objective of this work is to reflect the origins and foundations of
the cartesian epistemology logic as it is in The art of thinking. A logic
that juxtaposes, not without difficulties, the legacy of former and
scholastics than modern: a reworking of the logic is still dependent
on the authority of Aristotle. Rectitude to immanent thinking
replaces the classical formalism. Distinguishing itself from the outset
of the predicate logic, this logic is described in natural language. The
truth of a proposition and its expression depends on the relationship
between the ideas of this proposal. Any idea is associated with its
size and its understanding. The idea contains in its extension both
ideas that particularly taken universally. Here the extension is
different from the predicate calculus. The prerogatives of the logic
operations are consubstantial of the mind, conceive, judge, reason
and order: the former trial and make it as accurate as possible. The
logic informs and sets the terms of the agreement of thought with
itself and with the outside world.
