A System of Logic

"A System of Logic," written by John Stuart Mill in the 19th century, explores how we reason and draw conclusions from evidence. Mill discusses methods of scientific inquiry, emphasizing the importance of observation and experimentation in forming knowledge. He outlines different types of reasoning, including induction (generalizing from specific instances) and deduction (applying general principles to specific cases). The work aims to provide a structured approach to logical thinking, helping people understand how arguments work and how to evaluate them critically. Mill's insights laid foundational principles for both philosophy and scientific methodology.
