Contributions to Philosophy
John Stuart Mill was a 19th-century philosopher. Mill was a liberal-thinking naturalist with an 18th-century enlightenment outlook on philosophy's direction. Mill did several works that challenged many ideas of his time. Some important ones include System of Logic (1843) and An Examination of Sir William Hamilton’s Philosophy (1865). His ideas have influenced many after him to challenge how we should interpret hypotheses and the ideals against which science should be tested. -
System of Logic
In this work, Mill delves into his own ideas of philosophy. We see many concepts, some notable ones supporting enumerative induction as well as logical induction. These concepts are very pivotal to furthering the philosophy of science. We see discussions deriving from his arguments for natural experiences being the basis of what we should consider as testable by science. -
