The Victorian period in Britain was an "age of reform." It is
therefore not surprising that two of the era's most eminent
intellects described themselves as reformers. Both William Whewell
and John Stuart Mill believed that by reforming
philosophy--including the philosophy of science--they could effect
social and political change. But their divergent visions of this
societal transformation led to a sustained and spirited controversy
that covered morality, politics, science, and economics. Situating
their debate within the larger context of Victorian society and its
concerns, "Reforming Philosophy" shows how two very different men
captured the intellectual spirit of the day and engaged the
attention of other scientists and philosophers, including the young
Charles Darwin.
