"Review of the Work of Mr. John Stuart Mill Entitled, 'Examination of Sir William Hamilton's Philosophy'" by George Grote is a late 19th-century philosophical analysis. The book is centered on an inspection of John Stuart Mill's viewpoints on the philosophy of Sir William Hamilton, with special attention paid to the nature of knowledge, the place of metaphysics, and how the two philosophers differ. This book, suited for those who have studied philosophy, discusses the differences between two important characters in this field. The book starts by describing Hamilton’s impact on philosophy in Edinburgh and explains why Mill decided to write this examination. Grote points out the detail and sophistication in Mill’s writing which says that Hamilton was important, but now his theories will be put to the test. According to the text, Mill reviews Hamilton’s claims about what we can know and sees contradictions in Hamilton's ideas. Also, it states that Mill's review works to break down Hamilton's ideas and create a new case for his own ideas, prepping the reader up for an in-depth look at what they both think.
