Kartoniert, 642 Seiten, 216mm x 140mm x 37mm, Sprache(n): eng A foundational text in modern empiricist method, published in 1843 by Victorian England's foremost philosopher of political and social life.John Stuart Mill (20 May 1806 - 7 May 1873) was an English philosopher, political economist, politician and civil servant. One of the most influential thinkers in the history of classical liberalism, he contributed widely to social theory, political theory, and political economy. Dubbed "the most influential English-speaking philosopher of the nineteenth century" by the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, [11] he conceived of liberty as justifying the freedom of the individual in opposition to unlimited state and social control.[12]Mill was a proponent of utilitarianism, an ethical theory developed by his predecessor Jeremy Bentham. He contributed to the investigation of scientific methodology, though his knowledge of the topic was based on the writings of others, notably William Whewell, John Herschel, and Auguste Comte, and research carried out for Mill by Alexander Bain. He engaged in written debate with Whewell.[13]A member of the Liberal Party and author of the early feminist work The Subjection of Women, Mill was also the second member of Parliament to call for women's suffrage after Henry Hunt in 1832 Versandkostenfreie Lieferung<

Cambridge University Press, 2011. 642p. Paperback. Series: Cambridge Library Collection - Philosophy. Broschiert This two-volume work, first published in 1843, was John Stuart Mill`s first major book. It reinvented the modern study of logic and laid the foundations for his later work in the areas of political economy, women`s rights and representative government. In clear, systematic prose, Mill (1806?73) disentangles syllogistic logic from its origins in Aristotle and scholasticism and grounds it instead in processes of inductive reasoning. An important attempt at integrating empiricism within a more general theory of human knowledge, the work constitutes essential reading for anyone seeking a full understanding of Mill`s thought. Continuing the discussion of induction, Volume 2 concludes with Book VI, `On the Logic of the Moral Sciences`, in which Mill applies empirical reasoning to human behaviour. A crucial early formulation of his thinking regarding free will and necessity, this book establishes the centrality of `the social science` to Mill`s philosophy. (Publisher`s information).
