1843 book by John Stuart Mill

A System of Logic, Ratiocinative and Inductive is an 1843 book by English philosopher John Stuart Mill.

In this work, he formulated the five principles of inductive reasoning that are known as Mill's Methods. This work is important in the philosophy of science, and more generally, insofar as it outlines the empirical principles Mill would use to justify his moral and political philosophies. An article in "Philosophy of Recent Times" has described this book as an "attempt to expound a psychological system of logic within empiricist principles.”

This work was important to the history of science, being a strong influence on scientists such as Dirac. A System of Logic also had an impression on Gottlob Frege, who rebuked many of Mill's ideas about the philosophy of mathematics in his work The Foundations of Arithmetic. Mill revised the original work several times over the course of thirty years in response to critiques and commentary by Whewell, Bain, and others.

A System of Logic begins with a discussion of difficulty of a preliminary definition of what Logic is but gives one. Mill asserts his right to do this, " I do this by virtue of the right I claim for every author, to give whatever provisional definition he pleases of his own subject". He concludes with "Logic, then, is the science
of the operations of the understanding which are subservient to the estimation
of evidence"

This book is headed "On the Logic of the Moral Sciences". John Stuart Mill thought this a very important chapter for the social progress he so keenly sort. "The backward state of the Moral Sciences can only be remedied by applying to them the methods of Physical Science, duly extended and generalized".
