This article examines J. S. Mill's philosophical logic as the basis for his political philosophy. In particular, it explores how he understands the logical mechanism of political discourse in his work A System of Logic and how this understanding supports his defense of freedom of thought and discussion in his On Liberty (chapter 2). While it is well known in the scholarly literature that Mill draws on Socratic dialectic to develop his view of political discourse, this article investigates in detail the logic behind the Socratic dialectic, thereby identifying the historical significance of Mill's defense of liberty of discussion.
本文探讨了约翰·斯图尔特·密尔的哲学逻辑作为其政治哲学的基础。具体而言，它探究了密尔在其著作《逻辑体系》中如何理解政治话语的逻辑机制，以及这种理解如何在他的《论自由》（第二章）中支持他对思想和讨论自由的辩护。虽然在学术文献中众所周知，密尔借鉴苏格拉底辩证法来发展他的政治话语观点，但本文详细研究了苏格拉底辩证法背后的逻辑，从而确定了密尔对讨论自由辩护的历史意义。
