Produktbeschreibung

Mr. Mill's Denial Of Necessary Truth is a philosophical work by John Stuart Mill, published in 1871. In this book, Mill argues against the idea that there are necessary truths, or truths that are true in all possible worlds. He claims that all knowledge is derived from experience, and that there are no innate ideas or concepts that are universally true. Mill also discusses the limitations of human knowledge and the role of language in shaping our understanding of the world. Overall, Mr. Mill's Denial Of Necessary Truth is a thought-provoking exploration of the nature of truth and knowledge.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Autorenporträt

John Stuart Mill (20 May 1806 - 7 May 1873) was an English philosopher, political economist, politician and civil servant. One of the most influential thinkers in the history of classical liberalism, he contributed widely to social theory, political theory, and political economy. Dubbed "the most influential English-speaking philosopher of the nineteenth century" by the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy,[11] he conceived of liberty as justifying the freedom of the individual in opposition to unlimited state and social control.[12]Mill was a proponent of utilitarianism, an ethical theory developed by his predecessor Jeremy Bentham. He contributed to the investigation of scientific methodology, though his knowledge of the topic was based on the writings of others, notably William Whewell, John Herschel, and Auguste Comte, and research carried out for Mill by Alexander Bain. He engaged in written debate with Whewell.[13]A member of the Liberal Party and author of the early feminist work The Subjection of Women, Mill was also the second member of Parliament to call for women's suffrage after Henry Hunt in 1832
