"A System of Logic, Ratiocinative and Inductive" by John Stuart Mill is a philosophical work from the late 1800s about how we think, prove things, and do science. This book wants to give a way to understand logic, diving into language, ideas, and different ways of thinking. Mill takes old ideas and tries to make them easier to understand for today. The beginning explains that to reason correctly, you need to understand language first, stressing how logic starts with words and sentences, which build our questions and beliefs. He points out that being clear with definitions is important and that language can trick us, leading to wrong conclusions if we don't understand it well. Essentially, the beginning gets ready to explore logic and how it helps us find the truth.
