 Critics and interpreters of Mill’s philosophy of logic have been unable to reach a verdict on the question whether Mill was a psychologistic thinker. Recent work by David Godden (2005) provides a detailed explanation for this lack of agreement: Mill’s position on the relationship between (deductive) logic and psychology is “fractured”. Some elements in Mill’s thought push him towards a strongly psychologistic viewpoint, other elements pull him away from it. In other words, sometimes Mill insists that logic depends on psychology, sometimes he denies such dependence. (This section is based on Godden’s important re-assessment.)
