My next piece quoting from J.S. Mill grooves nicely with the thinking here. I still haven't gotten to the Principia Mathematica. This reminds me to prioritise. I've also promised to prioritise McLuhan. Busy period...
There's no reason to read Principia Mathematica unless you're really interested in the relationship between logic and mathematics. But Whitehead's "Science and the Modern World", which was the spur for this piece, is a good read, and not too long. Will look forward to your piece on Mill!
