Bøker av John Stuart Mill

Der Gegenstand dieser Untersuchung ist nicht die sogenannte Willensfreiheit, die so unglücklich entgegengesetzt wird der zu Unrecht so genannten Lehre von der philosophischen Notwendigkeit; sondern es handelt sich um die bürgerliche oder soziale Freiheit. (...) Das einzige Ziel, um dessentwillen es der Menschheit gestattet ist, einzeln oder vereint, die Freiheit eines ihrer Mitglieder zu beschränken ist Selbstschutz."Über die Freiheit" ist ein philosophisches Werk des englischen Philosophen John Stuart Mill, das erstmals 1859 veröffentlicht wurde. Für den damaligen viktorianischen Leser war es ein radikales Werk, das moralische und ökonomische Freiheit von Individuen gegenüber dem souveränen Staat forderte. Es war ein enorm einflussreiches Werk.Inhalt dieser Ausgabe :- Über die Freiheit- Die Hörigkeit der Frau

The Subjection of Women is an essay by English philosopher, political economist and civil servant John Stuart Mill published in 1869, with ideas he developed jointly with his wife Harriet Taylor Mill. Mill submitted the finished manuscript of their collaborative work On Liberty (1859) soon after her untimely death in late 1858, and then continued work on The Subjection of Women until its completion in 1861. At the time of its publication, the essay's argument for equality between the sexes was an affront to European conventional norms regarding the status of men and women.In his Autobiography, Mill describes his indebtedness to his wife, and his daughter Helen Taylor for the creation of The Subjection of Women:As ultimately published it was enriched with some important ideas of my daughter's and some passages of her writing. But all that is most striking and profound in what was written by me belongs to my wife, coming from the fund of thought that had been made common to us both by our innumerable conversations and discussions on a topic that filled so large a place in our minds
