The Autobiography of John Stuart Mill, (Paperback)

<p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>John</strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong> Stuart <strong>Mill</strong></strong></strong> 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 <em>philosophy</em> to systems of government, and <strong>The Subjugation</strong> 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 <em>philosophy</em> of science, Principles of Political Economy, one of the most influential economics textbooks of the 19th century, and many other notable books of <em>philosophy</em>. When not composing profound tracts that would shape <em>philosophy</em> in the next century, he wrote volubly in various magazines and newspapers of the day, became the godfather of <strong>Bertrand Russell</strong>-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 <strong>Mill</strong>'s rich life is his education. His father, Utilitarian philosopher <strong><strong>James <strong>Mill</strong></strong></strong>, raised <strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>John</strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong> in a special mode of education purposefully designed to produce a genius, with the intent of making <strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>John</strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong> the standard-bearer of Utilitarianism in the next generation. To this end he kept young <strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>John</strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong> isolated from his school-age peers to prevent them from making him feel too smart, and gave <strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>John</strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong> a rich classical, moral, and scientific education. By the age of three <strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>John</strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong> 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. <strong>That James</strong> </p>
