What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, Very Scarce
The very scarce first US edition.
James McCosh, a president of Princeton University an a philosopher of the Scottish School of Common Sense, presents a criticism of John Stuart Mill’s empiricist philosophy and views on logic, metaphysics, and ethics.
McCosh defends Sir William Hamilton's criticisms of Mill, and argues that fundamental truths are intuitively known rather than derived solely from experience, as Mill contended.
