Opis

John Stuart Mill considered his A System of Logic the methodological foundation and intellectual groundwork for his later works in ethical, social, and political theory. Yet no book has attempted in the past to engage with all the intricate aspects of Mill's Logic. This volume brings together leading Mill scholars to elucidate the key themes of this important work, looking at such topics as his theory of names, philosophical necessity, his discussion on fallacies, ethology and psychology, philosophical method, and the Art of Life.
