约翰斯图亚特穆勒（下称小穆勒）是十九世纪的顶尖思想家之一，同时堪称最伟大的通才，没有之一。小穆勒的研究领域横跨自然科学和社会科学，上至哲学、逻辑学，下至经济学、政治学、伦理学，就研究的广度而论，只需上仰古希腊大哲亚里士多德一人而已。 其实，小穆勒看似经天纬地的研究并非真正的四分五散，而是其来有自、一以贯之。本书《逻辑体系》既是他不竭的智慧之源，也是贯穿始终的方法论之线。当然，这本书也是小穆勒皓首穷经之作，前后历时42年（1830－1872年），八易其稿（正式版本），洋洋洒洒千余页、120万字，堪称当时逻辑学领域的扛鼎巨作。 《逻辑体系》这本巨著的价值在于，将洛克、贝克莱、休谟一脉相承的经验主义应用于逻辑学领域，特别是归纳逻辑，使得经验主义哲学开始真正成为其他科学、特别是社会科学的根本方法论。小穆勒本人正是这方面的践行者和受益者。哲学的贯通使他在经济学...(展开全部)

Why did the British government declare war on Germany in August 1914? Was it because Germany posed a threat to British national security? Today many prominent historians would argue that this was not the case and that a million British citizens died needlessly for a misguided cause. This book counters such revisionist arguments. Matthew Seligmann disputes the suggestion that th...(展开全部)
