Synopsis

Hamilton Versus Mill. a Thorough Discussion Of Each Chapter In Mr. John Stuart Mill's Examination Of Hamilton's Logic And Philosophy Beginning With The Logic Part I—On Chapter XVII. XVIII. AND XIX. by John Stuart Mill. An analytic critique that surveys Mill's Examination of Hamilton's Logic and Philosophy from the perspective of Hamilton's followers. This volume presents Preliminary Remarks and Sections I through III of Part I, arguing that Mill's charges against Hamilton are groundless and that Mill himself repeatedly concedes the soundness of Hamilton's positions while presenting them as contradictions. The author contends that Mill's criticisms are largely fictional, aimed at a practical joke rather than a genuine philosophical dispute, and that the supposed conflicts between general concepts, judgment, and reasoning are resolved by Hamilton's theory of Whole and Part, conceptions, and the interaction of concrete and abstract notions. The work methodically examines Chapter XVII (General Conceptions), Chapter XVIII (Judgment), and Chapter XIX (Reasoning), showing how Mill's statements collapse under careful scrutiny and how the apparent contradictions vanish when properly understood. The tone is forensic, aimed at defending Hamilton and dismantling Mill's polemical method, with explicit reference to contemporary reviews and authorities.
