About this book

In this foundational work, the great philosopher John Stuart Mill sets out a comprehensive theory of reasoning, evidence, and scientific method, from the logic of deduction to the principles of inductive inquiry by which we discover the laws of nature. Rigorous yet lucid, it shaped the philosophy of science, logic, and the social sciences for generations and remains a landmark in the theory of knowledge. Mill argues that all real knowledge comes from experience, and lays out methods of inquiry still taught today. Ambitious and profoundly influential, A System of Logic is a cornerstone of empiricist philosophy and one of the most important works on how we come to know the world.
