Synopsis

Excerpt from The Laws of Discursive Thought: Being a Text-Book of Formal Logic

Kant's Critick of Pure Reason. Since that date, Logic has had a greater amount of interest collected round it in Great Britain than any other mental science, and has become incorporated with the fresh est and brightest thought of the country. The in terest in the study has been increased by the Logic of Mr. John Stuart Mill, who has evidently felt the in fluence of Whately in the respect which he pays to Formal Logic, but adheres, as a whole, to the prin ciples of his father, Mr. James Mill, introducing some elements from the cognate Positive Philosophy of M. Comte. Mr. Mill has given an impulse to the study, not by the portion of his work which treats of Formal Logic - which is not of much scientific value - but by his valuable exposition of the Logic of Induction, which would have been of much more value had he left out the constant defences of his empirical meta physics.
