Product Description
A System of Logic, Ratiocinative and Inductive : being a connected view of the principles of evidence and the methods of scientific investigation Mill's Logic, first published in 1843, firmly established Mill as the leader of the empirical school of logic. A System of Logic is the first major installment of his comprehensive restatement of an empiricist and utilitarian position. It begins the attack on ""intuitionism"" which Mill carried on throughout his life, and makes plain his belief that social planning and political action should rely primarily on scientific knowledge, not on authority, custom, revelation, or prescription. Contents include: OF NAMES AND PROPOSITIONS - Of the Necessity of commencing with an Analysis of Language, Of Names, Of the Things denoted by Names, Of Proposition, Of the Import of Propositions, Of Propositions merely Verbal, Of the nature of Classification and the five Predicables, Of Definition. OF REASONING - Of Inference, or Reasoning in General, Of Ratiocination, or Syllogism, Of the Functions, and logical Values of Syllogism, Of trains of Reasoning and Deductive Sciences, Of Demonstration and Necessary truths. OF INDUCTION - Observations on Induction in General, On the Ground of Induction, Of the Laws of Nature, Of The Law of Universal Causation, Of The Composition of Causes, Of Observation and Experiment, Four Methods of Experimental Enquiry, Miscellaneous Examples, Plurality of Causes, Of the Deductive Method, Explanation of Laws of Nature.

Reviews - What do our customers think?
 | This printing is GARBAGE. Oct 22, 2006 |
| I agree with the first reviewer. Mill's work is spectacular, but this printing is an INSULT to a great thinker and human being. The text is barely legible, and in the copy I received a number of pages had the text cropped off on the left side. Unbelievable that anyone thinks they can sell this for 40 dollars! It's really a disgrace. I would have written to the publisher, but I didn't see an address. Pitiful, just pitiful. | | |  | They really should offer a "Look Inside"... Apr 13, 2005 |
| Then you'd get some idea how badly your eyes would hurt trying to read this reprint. The quality is horrible, just horrible. It reminds me of the first faxes I saw (back in the 80s, right?). That being said, everyone should have a copy of this book, and (ever the optimist) the poor quality of print forces you to read slowly which is something the material in this book cries for on its own. Do not rely on the received view of Mill, especially the view propogated by Frege, Ayer, Russell, et al. that Mill held the bizarre view that at some point 2+2 might not =4. Read what he actually says for yourself! In the end, I'm grateful to have my own personal copy of this unsung classic of philosophy; so grateful, in fact, that I don't have too much heartburn over having paid a pretty penny for a crappy reprint. Still, the print of this edition (the only other edition I've seen is one from around 1900), is so poor, I have to give this edition (the yellow cover w/ full title) only 2 stars. So, I'd probably try the other edition first, but if this was the only one I could get, I'd still get it just for the value of having Mill's own words at my beck and call. | | | Write your own review about A System of Logic, Ratiocinative and Inductive: being a connected view of the principles of evidence and the methods of scientific investigation
