"Referring to the tradition of English empiricism, Mill developed the main methodological version of it. The correctness of the empiricist view of human knowledge he tried to demonstrate in the field of logic in the broadest sense, to which he gave a new interpretation, linking the position of empiricism with nominalism. In Mill's view, the logic of the pre-mathematical periodfound its most mature shape. Mill's most significant achievement was his methodology and theory of eliminative induction, which he regarded as the basis of all cognitively complete knowledge. Developing this theory, he codified the principles of eliminative induction (later called Mill's canons). Influenced by A. Comte, he formulated the English version of positivism and developed the positivist theory of science. Considering from this point of view the concepts of causality, substance (matter), self (soul), he took the position of phenomenalism. In psychology, taking the position of associationism, Mill tried to explain the course of mental life by the laws of association. "PWN Encyclopedia
