Language first, Mill insisted; muddled words make muddled science. The opening volume of his System of Logic analyzes names, propositions, and the things they denote, from feelings and substances to attributes, then builds toward the theory of inference. The groundwork of the century's most influential logic text. Lay the foundation before the tower.
