Contents:

Whewell and the reform of inductive philosophy -- Mill's radicalization of induction -- Reforming science -- Reforming culture : morality and politics -- Reforming political economy.

Summary: The Victorian period in Britain was an "age of reform."€ It is therefore not surprising that two of the era's most eminent intellects described themselves as reformers. Both William Whewell and John Stuart Mill believed that by reforming philosophy--including the philosophy of science--they could effect social and political change. But their divergent visions of this societal transformation led to a sustained and spirited controversy that covered morality, politics, science, and economics. Situating their debate within the larger context of Victorian society and its concerns, Reforming Phil.
