"A System of Logic was Mill’s most ambitious work and the one his contemporaries regarded as his most important. Regrettably, the Logic is comparatively neglected today. The essays in this volume, written by a strong slate of Mill scholars, promise to illuminate key aspects of this work and contribute to a renewed appreciation of its foundational place in Mill’s thought." -- Ben Eggleston, Department of Philosophy, University of Kansas, USA"This book is extremely welcome and important, and it is very surprising that no book of its kind and scale focusing on Mill’s Logic existed before it. It will prove indispensible reading for any Mill scholar and student, but also students of philosophy and the history of philosophy and many sub-disciplines more generally." -- Georgios Varouxakis, School of History, Queen Mary, University of London, UK
