 Bosanquet’s view of inference and of induction had significant consequences, not only for the then-contemporary understanding of logic—by challenging the view that deductive inference is “useless” (because those who know the premises already know the content of the conclusion)—but also for the ‘new’ logic of Frege, as developed by Russell and Whitehead, where judgement was separated from inference and ‘linear implication’ was the norm. It is perhaps for this reason that Bosanquet’s arguments incited not only a wide-ranging critical response—particularly from the ‘neo-realists’ at Cambridge and in the United States—but also the tantalizing remark by Wittgenstein to Moore in 1914 (cited in McGuinness 1988: 199–200) that some of Wittgenstein’s (unsuccessful) Cambridge B.A. dissertation was “cribbed” from Bosanquet’s logic.
