    Description

    First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding

    The first edition of this work.

    Offering a critique of prominent 19th-century Scottish philosopher Sir William Hamilton's ideas about human knowledge, metaphysics, and the limits of human understanding.

    Mill opposes Hamilton's theory of "natural realism", and his views on the limitations of human cognition. Mill argues instead for an empiricist and utilitarian approach to philosophy.
