LA SERVITÙ DELLE DONNE
Io mi propongo in questo saggio, di spiegare colla maggior possibile chiarezza, le ragioni sulle quali si fonda una opinione, che io ho abbracciata fin da quanto si formavano le mie prime convinzioni sulle questioni sociali e politiche, e che ben lungi dal fiaccarsi e modificarsi colla riflessione e la esperienza della vita, non fece che ingagliardire viemmeglio con esse. Io credo che le relazioni sociali dei due sessi, che sottomettono l'un sesso all'altro in nome della legge, sono cattive in sè stesse, e costituiscono oggidì uno dei precipui ostacoli che si oppongono al progresso dell'umanità...

On Liberty
Texte à corriger : "On Liberty" by John Stuart Mill is a seminal work that explores the delicate balance between individual freedom and societal authority. Mill argues that the struggle between liberty and authority has been a central theme throughout history, particularly in the contexts of Greece, Rome, and England. He posits that the concept of liberty has evolved from being a protection against the tyranny of rulers to a more complex relationship between individuals and society. Mill emphasizes the importance of protecting individual independence from societal norms and the tyranny of the majority. He asserts that the only legitimate reason for society to exercise power over an individual is to prevent harm to others. Mill's principle of liberty is grounded in the idea that individuals should have the freedom to pursue their own good in their own way, as long as they do not harm others. He also highlights the importance of freedom of thought and expression as essential components of individual liberty. Mill's work is a response to the increasing tendency of society to impose its own opinions and inclinations on individuals, both through public opinion and legislation. He warns against the encroachment of societal power over individual freedom and advocates for a strong moral conviction to counteract this trend. "On Liberty" remains a pivotal text in understanding the dynamics of individual freedom and societal authority, advocating for a society that respects and nurtures the diversity of human development.

The Autobiography of John Stuart Mill
John Stuart Mill was one of the most influential philosophers of the 19th century. His more well-known works include On Liberty, a highly-influential treatise applying the Utilitarian philosophy to systems of government, and The Subjugation of Women, a treatise arguing for gender equality in an age where that was anything but the norm.Besides these monumental works, he also produced A System of Logic, an important work on the philosophy of science, Principles of Political Economy, one of the most influential economics textbooks of the 19th century, and many other notable books of philosophy. When not composing profound tracts that would shape philosophy in the next century, he wrote volubly in various magazines and newspapers of the day, became the godfather of Bertrand Russell¿himself the 20th century¿s most prominent logician¿and even spent time as a Member of Parliament, becoming the first M.P. in history to call for women to be given the right to vote.But perhaps the most interesting part of Mill¿s rich life is his education. His father, Utilitarian philosopher James Mill, raised John in a special mode of education purposefully designed to produce a genius, with the intent of making John the standard-bearer of Utilitarianism in the next generation. To this end he kept young John isolated from his school-age peers to prevent them from making him feel too smart, and gave John a rich classical, moral, and scientific education. By the age of three John was studying Greek, and by eight he was studying Latin and in charge of educating his younger siblings; by twelve, he was studying scholastic logic, and had already consumed nearly all of the major Greek and Latin classics in their original language. That James Mill¿s unique method of education produced a genius is without a doubt, and John¿s youthful experiences are recounted here in detail.This short and to-the-point autobiography is a fascinating window into the life of one of the 19th century¿s most important thinkers.

The Subjection of Women
In "The Subjection of Women," John Stuart Mill presents a compelling argument for gender equality, challenging the entrenched societal norms that subordinate women to men. Mill asserts that the legal and social subordination of women is inherently wrong and a significant barrier to human progress. He argues that the principle of perfect equality should replace the existing system, which grants power and privilege to men while imposing disabilities on women. Mill highlights the difficulty of challenging deeply rooted societal opinions, noting that feelings often outweigh reason in maintaining the status quo. He critiques the historical reliance on the "law of the strongest" and emphasizes that the subjugation of women is a relic of a bygone era, inconsistent with modern principles of freedom and equality. Mill calls for a genuine discussion on the merits of gender equality, free from the biases of custom and tradition. He contends that the differences between the sexes are largely artificial, shaped by societal influences rather than inherent nature. Mill advocates for the removal of legal and social barriers that prevent women from pursuing opportunities on equal terms with men, arguing that such change is essential for the advancement of society as a whole.
