Excerpt from Moral Causation: Or Notes on Mr. Mill's Notes to the Chapter on 'Freedom' in the Third Edition of His 'Examination of Sir W. Hamilton's Philosophy'
Mill's death reached England. In the general sense of sadness diffused by the premature extinction of so great an intellectual light, my publication must have seemed inopportune, and I therefore resolved to defer it; but the project may be now resumed. The appear ance of Mr Mill's 'autobiography,' and, more lately, of his three Essays on Religion,' has stirred a new interest in his Opinions on such subjects, which may give to my criticism (in so far as it may be held ih telligent) a pertinence which it might not otherwise have possessed. Moreover, in the interval the subject has lost none of its importance; and as intimately related to certain of the current controversies of the time, it is constantly coming up for discussion. Any little bit of accurate thought about it - supposing one capable of such - might thus be held seasonable and appropriate.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book re-examines the philosophical debate between free will and determinism, evaluating the arguments presented by J. S. Mill. The author discusses the relationship between free will and the power to change one's character, the psychological theories of mind and matter put forward by Mill, and the tensions between freedom and fatalism. The book concludes by arguing that free will is not incompatible with determinism and that the two concepts can be reconciled. The author asserts that free will is the power to shape one's own circumstances through the exercise of one's will, even if one's character is formed by external influences. This nuanced perspective challenges traditional views on free will and determinism, offering a fresh approach to understanding the complex relationship between human agency and causality.
