Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vincent Guillin uses the issue of sexual equality as a prism through which to examine important differences – epistemological, methodological and theoretical – between Auguste Comte and John Stuart Mill. He succeeds in showing how their differing conceptions of science and human nature influence and affect their respective approaches to philosophy and to the analysis of female (in)equality in particular. Guillin shines a bright searchlight into long-neglected aspects of both men’s thinking – for example, Mill’s proposal to construct an ‘ethology’, or science of character-formation, and Comte’s seemingly bizarre interest in phrenology – and the ways in which these shaped their views of women’s intellectual and political capacities. Guillin’s wide-ranging study examines both men’s major and minor works, their correspondence with one another, and the reasons for the final acrimonious break between two of the nineteenth century’s most original and important thinkers.

Book excerpt: All the significant ideas in nineteenth-century English feminism can be found in the prose and thought of John Stuart Mill and in those of the two women central to his life: Harriet Taylor, who married him in 1851, and her daughter, Helen Taylor. Together they produced some of the most powerful and influential writings ever penned to promote women's equality, and it was to this family that the Victorian women's movement in England came to look for leadership, guidance, and money.In this volume, Ann Robson and John Robson bring together the writings and speeches from these three seminal thinkers on the subject of sexual equality. Some of these pieces have not been available in published form for more than a century. They cover such topics as love, sex, marriage, children, property, domestic relations, divorce, and suffrage.Sexual Equality is a necessary tool for understanding the development of ideas on women's issues in the Mill household. These ideas influenced thinking on sexual equality far beyond England and far past the Victorian period.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Stuart Mill's 1869 essay The Subjection of Women argues for equality between the sexes, putting forward ideas that were an affront to many at the time. His wife, Harriet Taylor Mill, is credited with co-authoring the essay. The Subjection of Women puts forward a detailed and passionate opposition to the social and legal inequalities imposed on women by society. Mill saw that he was going against the grain of the time, but argued that such inequality was a past relic from a time when might equaled right and that it had no place in the modern world. Inequality between the sexes limited human development as it made half of humanity unable to contribute to society outside of their own homes.

Book excerpt: John Stuart Mill wrote the groundbreaking essay "The Submission of Women" with notes that he was heavily influenced by his wife, Harriet Taylor Mill. Modern scholars have questioned the legacy the husband built for the wife in which he has been accused of making exorbitant claims about her intelligence and influence. Despite this revisionist approach, however, "The Submission of Women" strongly resembles both the content and character of an essay entitled "The Emancipation of Women" published by Harriet in 1851. In this essay, she argued for 'a utilitarian approach to equality which asserted that the presence of hostility towards women kept them subjugated at all levels of society. "The Submission of Women" was published by in 1869. "The Submission of Women" is notable for placing John Stuart Mill at the forefront of the developing notion of a feminist movement. Not exactly so called, those who were bold enough to suggest that women could be the intellectual equal of men were seen at best as deeply radical in their thinking and at worst dangerously delusional. Over four chapters, Mill carefully delineates his argument for an innate existing gender equality and goes on to suggest that this innate equality is stifled by denial of access to education. Mill also calls for reform to change existing social structures. Overlapping all of this, a fundamental appeal to the simple morality of the issue. Indeed, Mill makes a caustic appeal to the intellectual evil of immorality in subjugating women as second-class citizens due to the damaging limitations of birth and birth alone. It is in the realm of morality that Mill's essay reaches the level of truly revolutionary literature. While raising compelling scientific points, the appeal most deeply touches her assertion that the subjugation of women is a systemic choice based on scientific ignorance, but also a deliberate disregard for empirical evidence.
Download or read book On Liberty and the Subjection of Women written by John Stuart Mill and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2006-08-31 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A prodigiously brilliant thinker who sharply challenged the beliefs of his age, the political and social radical John Stuart Mill was the most influential English-speaking philosopher of the nineteenth century. Regarded as one of the sacred texts of liberalism, his great work On Liberty argues lucidly that any democracy risks becoming a 'tyranny of opinion' in which minority views are suppressed if they do not conform with those of the majority. Written in the same period as On Liberty, shortly after the death of Mill's beloved wife and fellow-thinker Harriet, The Subjection of Women stresses the importance of equality for the sexes. Together, the works provide a fascinating testimony to the hopes and anxieties of mid-Victorian England, and offer a compelling consideration of what it truly means to be free.

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 John Stuart Mill (20 May 1806 - 8 May 1873) was a British philosopher, political economist and civil servant. One of the most influential thinkers in the history of liberalism, he contributed widely to social theory, political theory and political economy. Dubbed "the most influential English-speaking philosopher of the nineteenth century,"[6] Mill's conception of liberty justified the freedom of the individual in opposition to unlimited state and social control. Mill was a proponent of utilitarianism, an ethical theory developed by his predecessor Jeremy Bentham. He contributed to the investigation of scientific methodology, though his knowledge of the topic was based on the writings of others, notably William Whewell, John Herschel and Auguste Comte, and research carried out for Mill by Alexander Bain. Mill engaged in written debate with Whewell.

Book excerpt: The Subjection of Women was written in 1861 and published eight years later. In the more than one hundred years since its publication, one of the major changes for which John Stuart Mill argued in the essay, the enfranchisement of women, has been accomplished. And yet the essay continues to be relevant and its argument significant today, since the ultimate ideal for which Mill pleaded, the establishment of 'complete equality in all legal, political, social and domestic relations' between men and women, is still far from accomplished, and the basic arguments to which Mill addressed himself still dominate discussions about the 'woman-question'.
