Book Overview

""Mill and Carlyle: An Examination of Mr. John Stuart Mill�������s Doctrine of Causation in Relation to Moral Freedom"" is a book written by Patrick Proctor Alexander in 1866. The book is a critical examination of the philosophical ideas of two prominent thinkers of the 19th century, John Stuart Mill and Thomas Carlyle. The central focus of the book is Mill's theory of causation and how it relates to the concept of moral freedom. Alexander argues that Mill's deterministic view of causation undermines the idea of moral responsibility and free will. He contrasts this with Carlyle's view of causation, which emphasizes the role of individual agency and moral responsibility. The book is a significant contribution to the ongoing debate about the nature of causation and its relationship to human agency and moral responsibility. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of philosophy and the development of ideas about freedom and determinism in the modern era.Also An Occasional Discourse On Sauerteig.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
