About this Item
Description:
First Edition. 8vo, in the publisher's original oxblood-brown cloth paneled on the boards in blind and gilt lettered on the spine. Neat private name on half-title, and minor sunning to the spine, otherwise about a fine copy. FIRST EDITION OF MILL'S ATTACK ON SIR WILLIAM HAMILTON METAPHYSICAL PHILOSOPHY. To the destruction of Hamilton s philosophical reputation, Mill s Examination contributed a great deal. Mark Pattison, reviewing the Examination in The Reader, exclaimed: "The effect of Mr Mill s review is the absolute annihilation of all Sir W. Hamilton s doctrines, opinions, of all he has written or taught. Nor of himself only, but all his followers, pupils, copyists, are involved in the common ruin. The whole fabric of the Hamiltonian philosophy is not only demolished, but its very stones are ground to powder. Where once stood Sebastopol bidding proud defiance to rival systems is now a coast barren and blue, sandheaps behind and sandhills before." Within this text Mill also expounds his most important ideas on religion. "The Book focused the whole controversial energy of the period belonging to the two opposed schools, the intuitional and the empirical. it became the leading text-book of that psychological philosophy which had been adumbrated by Hume. It is a work that shows Mill's powers at their most mature state". Seller Inventory # 27647

John Stuart Mill (1806 - 1873) was an English philosopher, political economist and civil servant. One of the most influential thinkers in the history of liberalism, he contributed widely to social theory, political theory and political economy. Dubbed "the most influential English-speaking philosopher of the nineteenth century", Mill's conception of liberty justified the freedom of the individual in opposition to unlimited state and social control. Mill was a proponent of utilitarianism, an ethical theory developed by his predecessor Jeremy Bentham, and contributed significantly to the theory of the scientific method. A member of the Liberal Party, he was also the first Member of Parliament to call for women's suffrage. Sir William Hamilton, 9th Baronet FRSE DD FSAS (1788 - 1856) was a Scottish metaphysician.
