Encyclopedia Introduction
What should the Encyclopedia be?
The work we are undertaking (and hoping to complete) has two objectives.
It must be an "Encyclopedia" that clearly shows the order and interrelation of human knowledge.
It must also include the most essential details that form the foundation and substance of general principles, whether they are mechanical or otherwise.
It is an "Encyclopedia" and a "Rational Dictionary."
The entirety of knowledge
Our entire knowledge can be divided into direct knowledge and reflective knowledge.
Direct knowledge is the knowledge we receive recklessly without any act of will.
If I may say so, it is the knowledge that enters without resistance or effort when we see that all the doors of our mind are open.
Reflective knowledge is the knowledge we acquire by directly influencing our mind - that is, by combining and combining them.
It may be similar to Knowledge and wisdom.
False dichotomy
Logic
Whether by one's own efforts or with the help of fellow beings, what people have found in expanding the realm of their ideas is that the benefits they have gained have led them to think that it would be useful to organize the very techniques for acquiring knowledge and transmitting their own thoughts to one another in a simple way. Thus, this technique was discovered and named "logic."
What it teaches is to arrange Concept in the most natural order, to form the most seamless chain of ideas, to break down ideas that contain too many simple concepts, to examine ideas from every angle, and finally, to present ideas in a form that is easy for others to understand.
