Logic and Society: The Political Thought of John Stuart Mill, 1827-1848 - 9781137522191

This book discusses John Stuart MillÆs intellectual activity from about 1827 to 1848, namely between his recovery from his so-called æMental CrisisÆ and the publication of Principles of Political Economy. During this period, along with deepening his understanding of contemporary society as commercial civilization, Mill aspired to create a new system of science of society which would inquire into the nature, process of historical change, and prospects of society. Among the indispensable constituent sciences of his system, this book pays particular attention on his projected sciences of history and of the formation of character (ethology), and clarifies that the implications of his interest in these sciences were more significant for the better understanding of MillÆs political thought than many scholars have assumed.
