Autobiography of John Stuart Mill
EUR 14,73
Autobiography of John Stuart Mill - Rivels the great philosophical autobiographies of all time: namely, Rousseau, Ben Franklin, Sartre, Russell. The book is a fascinating inspiration, responsible for my decision to change my college major to philosophy, politics, and economics. To criticize the work is to not understand it.
Mill-mental history and due credit as biography - Mill meets his opening promise to track his astounding and slightly disturbing early education, moral/intellectual development, and allotment of credit to those who shaped his ideas. Mill chooses not to share many narrative details of his colorful life, but instead focuses on the plethora of theories that shaped one of the greatest minds of his century. At times references to obscure works or persons can be tiresome as he gives credit to them. Mill s relationhsips with his wife and father and his embracing of poetry after a corrosively reasoned childhood education are the most fascinating facets of the work.
