Knightsbridge - Thanks WW for his work on induction, in reference to John Mill's Logic. GCL has read Comte's work and agrees more closely with WW's view of it than Mill's. Comte's 'opinions with respect to scientific methods, advanced in his early volumes...appear to me generally sound'. However, his method in what he calls sociology 'is fundamentally erroneous, and that it can never lead, except by accident, to just conclusions'.
