The Philosophy of Error and Liberty of Thought: J.S. Mill on Logical Fallacies

Frederick Rosen

Chapter 1 in John Stuart Mill, 2013, pp 17-48 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Logic lays down the general principles and laws of the search after truth; the conditions which, whether recognised or not, must actually have been observed if the mind has done its work rightly. Logic is the intellectual complement of mathematics and physics. Those sciences give the practice, of which Logic is the theory. It declares the principles, rules, and precepts, of which they exemplify the observance.
