Description

Book Synopsis
Both John Stuart Mill and William Whewell believed that by reforming philosophy - including the philosophy of science - they could effect social and political change. Situating their debate within the larger context of Victorian society and its concerns, this book shows how two very different men captured the intellectual spirit of the day.
