О подчинении женщины
Джон Стюарт Милль (1806 – 1873) – британский философ, социолог, экономист и политический деятель. Внёс значительный вклад в обществознание, политологию и политическую экономию. Отстаивал концепцию индивидуальной свободы в противоположность неограниченному государственному контролю. Последовательно выступал за женскую эмансипацию, в особенности в книге «О подчинении женщины». Стал первым парламентарием, поднявшим вопрос о женском избирательном праве. В 1869 году в России появился перевод работы «О подчинении женщины», что стало новым стимулом для возобновления кампании за женское высшее образование. © ИДДК
Автобиография. История моей жизни и убеждений
Джона Стюарта Милля в наше время назвали бы вундеркиндом – в три года он начал учить классический греческий язык, в двенадцать лет приступил к изучению высшей математики, химии, логики и политической экономии, к четырнадцати годам образование будущего философа сочли законченным. В тоже время в жизни Милля не было детских развлечений и друзей-ровесников, он рос физически слабым мальчиком. Юношеские невзгоды вылились в душевный кризис, выход из которого виделся Миллю в самоубийстве. Однако перелом в жизни Джона Стюарта, который он так ярко описал в своей «Автобиографии» изменил отношение Милля не только к собственной жизни, но и к жизни общества в целом. © Storysidе

Utilitarianism
The philosophy of utilitarianism can trace its origins back thousands of years but it's most famously associated with the 18th century English philosopher Jeremy Bentham. The basic principle of utilitarianism is that ones actions should be guided towards outcomes that create the greatest good for the greatest numbers of people. This simple guiding principle creates a host of challenging moral dilemmas. John Stuart Mill's «Utilitarianism» is the classic exposition of this simple and yet complex philosophy.
Utilitarianism
The philosophy of utilitarianism can trace its origins back thousands of years to the ancient Chinese philosophy of logic attributed to the Mohist School. Today it is most famously associated with the 18th century English philosopher Jeremy Bentham, and his disciple John Stuart Mill. The basic principle of utilitarianism is that one’s actions should be guided towards outcomes that create the greatest good for the greatest numbers of people, or in other words towards the maximization of utility, or happiness. This simple guiding principle creates a host of challenging moral dilemmas. Arguably one of the most important political thinkers of the modern era, John Stuart’s Mill’s influence on Western civilization cannot be overstated. In his classic exposition “Utilitarianism”, first published as a series of three articles in “Fraser’s Magazine” in 1861, we are provided great insight into John Stuart Mill’s philosophical world view. This includes a biographical afterword.
On Liberty and Other Essays (with an Introduction by A. D. Lindsay)
“On Liberty and Other Essays” brings together the most important works of philosopher and political economist John Stuart Mill. In “On Liberty” Mill eloquently ponders the question of where the line should be drawn between the freedom of individuals and the authority of the state. As he puts it, “The struggle between liberty and authority is the most conspicuous feature in the portions of history with which we are earliest familiar…” Second in this volume, “Utilitarianism” is the classic exposition of the Utilitarian philosophy, the basic principle of which is that one’s actions should be guided towards outcomes that create the greatest good for the greatest numbers of people. In “Considerations on Representative Government,” Mill makes his arguments for the representative form of government as the ideal one. Lastly, “The Subjection of Women” is an essay co-written with his wife, Harriet Taylor Mill, arguing in favor of equality between the sexes. Arguably one of the most important political thinkers of the modern era, John Stuart’s Mill’s influence on Western civilization cannot be overstated. This representative selection collects together the principal works from which that reputation is garnered. This edition includes an introduction by A. D. Lindsay.
Utilitarianism
How do we decide what is «good» and what is «bad»? According to the ethical theory of Utilitarianism, to do good is to «always perform that act, of those available, that will bring the most happiness or the least unhappiness.» By far the most widely read introduction to this theory, John Stuart Mill's Utilitarianism is one of the most important and controversial works of moral philosophy ever written.In this major contribution to ethical history, Mill's treatise defends the view that all human action should produce the greatest happiness overall, and that happiness itself is made up of «higher pleasures,» such as the cultural, intellectual, and spiritual, and «lower pleasures,» such as the physical. The relationship of utilitarian theory to other ethical systems, and powerful arguments in its favor — especially when concerning justice — are brilliantly discussed. How do we weigh options to maximize happiness for self and for those around us? From common-day dilemmas to large-scale social decisions, this exposition remains as relevant today as it was to intellectual and moral dilemmas of the nineteenth century.
The Subjection of Women
Written in 1861 and published eight years later, this influential essay by the great English philosopher and economist is still relevant and its arguments significant. Believing that the subjugation of women was primarily political and psychological in origin, Mill urged the establishment of «complete equality in all legal, political, social, and domestic relations between men and women.»Arguing for both legal reforms and a social revolution, he focuses on women's exclusion from the political process, their lack of any rights in marriage, and the benefits to be obtained by their liberation. Moreover, if they are to share the freedoms enjoyed by men, equal opportunities for employment and education for women are also necessary.For its time, the work was radical and far-reaching in its demands; but despite its repeated emphasis on forms of oppression and recognition of the difficulties endured by women, it is essentially an optimistic work maintaining a firm belief that increased equality and liberty for women were inevitable.Carefully researched and clearly expressed with great logic and consistency, the book remains a landmark in the struggle for human rights. In this inexpensive edition, it will certainly be welcomed by feminists but will also appeal to anyone interested in the philosophical, human, and social issues underlying the idea of freedom and equality for all people, regardless of gender.
