These two schools held opposing views: inductive logicians such as John Stuart Mill saw induction as the only source of valid knowledge, while formal logicians such as George Boole maintained the value of deductive reasoning. The author traces the historical development of these two schools of thought, beginning with Francis Bacon, and culminating with Mill and Boole. Along the way, the reader is introduced to the major figures and ideas of the era, providing a comprehensive overview of a pivotal time in the history of logic.
