Riassunto

Of Induction: With Especial Reference To Mr. J. Stuart Mill�������s System Of Logic is a book written by William Whewell in 1849. The book is an analysis and critique of John Stuart Mill's System of Logic, particularly his theory of induction. Whewell argues that Mill's theory is incomplete and that it fails to account for the role of intuition and imagination in scientific discovery. He also criticizes Mill's reliance on empirical evidence and his rejection of metaphysical speculation. Whewell proposes an alternative theory of induction that emphasizes the importance of creative insight and the use of analogical reasoning in scientific inquiry. The book is considered an important contribution to the philosophy of science and has been influential in shaping subsequent debates about induction and scientific methodology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
