De quoi il s'agit

Le traité de l'induction de Mill : comment on remonte des cas à une loi, avec les quatre méthodes de recherche expérimentale — concordance, différence, résidus et variations concomitantes — qui portent encore son nom.

Contexte et histoire

Paru en 1843, ce fut le premier grand livre de Mill et celui qui lui donna autorité. Le sixième et dernier livre étend la même exigence aux « sciences morales » : il soutient qu'une science de la société est possible, et c'est là que cette prétention est défendue par arguments plutôt que proclamée.

Comment cela commence
This book makes no pretense of giving to the world a new theory of the intellectual operations. Its claim to attention, if it possess any, is grounded on the fact that it is an attempt, not to supersede, but to embody and systematize, the best ideas which have been either promulgated on its subject by speculative writers, or conformed to by accurate thinkers in their scientific inquiries. To cement together the detached fragments of a subject, never yet treated as a whole; to harmonize the true portions of discordant theories, by supplying the links of thought necessary to connect them, and by disentangling them from the errors with which they are always more or less interwoven, must necessarily require a considerable amount of original speculation. To other originality than this, the present work lays no claim. In the existing state of the cultivation of the sciences, there would be a very strong presumption against any one who should imagine that he had effected a revolution in the theory of the investigation of truth, or added any fundamentally new process to the practice of it. The improvement which remains to be effected in the methods of philosophizing (and the author believes that they have much need of improvement) can only consist in performing more systematically and accurately operations with which, at least in their elementary form, the human intellect, in some one or other of its employments, is already familiar. In the portion of the work which treats of Ratiocination, the author has not deemed it necessary to enter into technical details which may be obtained in so perfect a shape from the existing treatises on what is termed the Logic of the Schools.…
