Resumo: |
This dissertation examines the foundations of John Stuart Mill’s inductive logic as in his work “A System of Logic: Ratiocinative and Inductive”. Our first chapter shall be dedicated to a historical reconstruction of the problem which motivated the author to write said work and emphasize, in a radical way, the role of induction. Such logical system relates to Mill’s project of socio-political reforms inherited by his predecessors, and its main target is the so-called intuitionist moral philosophy, the defenders of fundamental moral ideas, free from experience. As his opposers attempt to justify the status quo of institutions with parallels between the certainty of mathematical demonstrations and moral truths, this is the “stronghold” which Mill must shatter with his theses. We shall show, in the remaining chapters, that a new and essential thesis demotes deductions as merely apparent inferences, in opposition to real ones, for they do not add new information and act only as psychological registers used to form reference classes. Only induction, as we shall see, is a real inference, effecting its movements from case to case in accordance to what is granted by the nature of phenomena. The real foundation, therefore, is attached to the progress of the natural sciences, guided by specific methods enumerated by Mill, and must always be updated by experience, opening the way to a fallibilist stance and constant reforms |
