His vast intellectual output covered a range of subjects -- traditional philosophy and logic, economics, political science -- and included this work, a founding document in the area now known as social science. \u003cbr\u003e In \u003ci\u003eThe Logic of the Moral Sciences, \u003c\/i\u003e Mill applied his considerable talents to examining how the study of human behavior, society, and history could be established on a rational, philosophical basis. The philosopher maintains that casual empiricism and direct experiment are not applicable to the study of complex social phenomena. Instead, \"empirical laws,\" drawn from historical generalizations, must be derivable from a deductive science of human nature. Mills' insights and approaches have remained relevant in the century and a half since this treatise's publication. This volume will prove of vital interest to historians of philosophy and the social sciences as well as to undergraduate social science majors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJohn Stuart Mill (1806-73) was the most influential English philosopher of the 19th century.
