1 jan 1843 ano - A System of Logic: Ratiocinative and Inductive, Being a Connected View of the Principles of Evidence and the Methods of Scientific Investigation

Descrição:

-Rejects the "German", "a priori" view of human knowledge -- "before-the-fact thinking"; we know universal truths about the world merely by theoretical deductions about the world (e.g. Kant).

-Intuitionist doctrine

-Makes the case for "a posteriori" -- Empiricist approach; studying human minds and wills by treating them as part of the casual order investigated by the sciences, rather than as special entities that lie outside it.

-The larger goal of the book was to demonstrate that "necessary truths" could be explained by experience and association

-Contained methods for inductively determining causality (Mill's Methods) -- Method of Agreement, Method of Difference and Joint Method -- as well as concomitant variation
