Es una vibrante defensa de la libertad de pensamiento y expresión, una apasionada apología de la tolerancia y el respeto debido a las creencias o minorías disidentes, una audaz reivindicación de la espontaneidad y singularidad humana frente a la opresion ejercida por las autoridades, la costumbre o la opinion. Precedido por un esclarecedor prologo de Isaiah Berlin, el presente ensayo de John Stuart Mill (1806-1873) pertenece a la breve galeria de obras de combate politico que, aun decadas o siglos despues de ser escritas, siguen determinando los comportamientos de los hombres.

Considerations on Representative Government by John Stuart Mill

Utilitarianism by John Stuart Mill is a classic exposition and defence of utilitarianism in ethics. The essay first appeared as a series of three articles published in Frasers Magazine in 1861 (vol. 64, p. 391406, 525534, 659673); the articles were collected and reprinted as a single book in 1863.Mills aim in the book is to explain what utilitarianism is, to show why it is the best theory of ethics, and to defend it against a wide range of criticisms and misunderstandings.Though heavily criticized both in Mills lifetime and in the years since, Utilitarianism did a great deal to popularize utilitarian ethics and has been considered "the most influential philosophical articulation of a liberal humanistic morality that was produced in the nineteenth century.Mill took many elements of his version of utilitarianism from Jeremy Bentham, the great nineteenth-century legal reformer, who along with William Paley were the two most influential English utilitarians prior to Mill. Like Bentham, Mill believed that happiness (or pleasure, which both Bentham and Mill equated with happiness) was the only thing humans do and should desire for its own sake.Since happiness is the only intrinsic good, and since more happiness is preferable to less, the goal of the ethical life is to maximize happiness.

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 essays 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 daughters 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.While scholars generally agree that John Stuart Mill was the sole author, it is also noted that some of the arguments are similar to Harriet Taylor Mills essay The Enfranchisement of Women, which was published in 1851.John Stuart Mill (20 May 1806 7 May 1873) was an English philosopher, political economist, Member of Parliament (MP) and civil servant. One of the most influential thinkers in the history of classical liberalism, he contributed widely to social theory, political theory, and political economy. Dubbed "the most influential English-speaking philosopher of the nineteenth century", he conceived of liberty as justifying the freedom of the individual in opposition to unlimited state and social control.

Filosofo ed economista tra i piu influenti nel 19 sec., Stuart Mill e ricordato anche per essere lautore del primo lavoro femminista scritto da un uomo.Coerente con la sua visione liberale della vita si batte per la liberta di coscienza, pensiero ed espressione; era per la liberta di associazione; infine era un strenuo difensore della liberta di perseguire la felicita. Non stupisce quindi che scrivendo questa opera fondamentale, rivendicasse la parita dei sessi nel diritto di famiglia e si dischiaro a favore del suffragio universale, allora vietato alle donne. La liberta di voto avrebbe contribuito alla fine di ogni residuo di schiavitu legale esistente, permettendo alle donne di essere considerate alla pari degli uomini.Presentiamo il volume con una prefazione e la traduzione di Anna Maria Mozzoni, pioniera dei diritti civili delle donne in Italia e grande conoscitrice del pensiero di Stuart Mill.

John Stuart Mill - Escrito en plena época del conservadurismo victoriano inglés, la obra muestra que la lucha por la igualdad de la mujer viene desde muy atrás.

John Stuart Mill (Londres 1806 - Aviñón, 1873) fue un filósofo, político y economista inglés, representante de la escuela conocida como "utilitarismo".

John Stuart Mill descubrió en los escritos de Auguste Comte la veta metodológica y propositiva del aspecto filosófico en la teoría económica. Así, la filosofía positiva se convirtió, para Mill en el instrumento principal para hacer avanzar la economía.

The object of this Essay is to explain as clearly as I am able, the grounds of an opinion which I have held from the very earliest period when I had formed any opinions at all on social or political matters, and which, instead of being weakened or modified, has been constantly growing stronger by the progress of reflection and the experience of life: That the principle which regulates the existing social relations between the two sexesthe legal subordination of one sex to the otheris wrong in itself, and now one of the chief hindrances to human improvement; and that it ought to be replaced by a principle of perfect equality, admitting no power or privilege on the one side, nor disability on the other.
