This seemed to give the ideal "logical" method, beginning with analysis into elements, and then proceeding in regular order to more and more complex Syntheses, each element being defined when used, and thereby clearly understood.
"How We Think"
John Dewey
Psychology, like sociology, is still largely in the scholastic stage, it is ignorant and intellectual, a happy refuge for the lazy industry of pedants; instead of experience and accurate description and analysis it begins with the rash assumption of elements and starts out upon ridiculous Syntheses.
"The Passionate Friends"
Herbert George Wells
Truth is not to be found in any system of logical notions, in schemes and Syntheses of the laws of nature or of thought.
