John Stuart Mill and Concepts of Nature

Dialogue 34 (3):447- (1995)
  Copy   BIBTEX

Abstract

Why did Mill draw such a firm line between nature and society, and what did he mean by the claim that only permanent or necessary truths could be gleaned in nature? Why are the laws of production able to transcend the social realm and thereby attain a higher epistemological standing? Was Mill the first to make this distinction, or does it conform with a long tradition within the history of economic thought?
