Mill brought out all the truth there was in that
view in a masterly work,— a great solitary
performance in the history of philosophy,—
his Analysis of the Human Mind. John Stuart Mill
was his son. Imbued, as were Bain and Grote
and others, with this doctrine,— this sacred
truth as it seemed to them and as it
really was, in so far as it was opposed
to certain ideas, yet extravagantly
pushed and denying what it had no justification
in denying. It was on the whole
a Denying doctrine. From the sacred
Denial John Sturart Mill drew his
mother's milk. To him loyalty to Truth and
loyalty to Ockhamism were inseparable.
