Sinossi

"Voting Rights" explores the long and complex struggle for women's suffrage and gender equality around the world. Examining historical, political, and social factors, the book reveals how patriarchal norms and prevailing attitudes limited women's political participation for centuries. While many nations have achieved formal legal equality in voting, the book argues that substantive equality – where women can freely exercise their right to vote – remains a distant goal.

 
The book highlights intriguing facts such as the diverse strategies employed by suffragists, ranging from peaceful protests to civil disobedience, and the persistent barriers to substantive equality, including discriminatory laws and voter registration obstacles.

 
The book progresses chronologically, starting with the early women's suffrage movements in Europe and North America, before moving to Asia, Africa, and Latin America. It analyzes various barriers to electoral equality, such as intimidation tactics and socioeconomic factors.

 
Through historical documents, legal analysis, and case studies, the book provides a global perspective on women's journey to full enfranchisement. It connects to fields such as gender studies and political science, offering a multidisciplinary understanding of the factors shaping women's voting rights and political participation. The book aims to inform policy debates and advocacy efforts promoting women's political empowerment.

Inquiry into the Human Mind An -...

James Reid

Though now little known outside specialist philosophical circles, the Scottish philosopher Thomas Reid (1710-1796) is remembered both for the founding of the Scottish School of Common Sense and his major work, An Inquiry into the Human Mind: on the Principles of Common Sense (1764).  
 
With his feet firmly on the ground, he challenged the speculative ideas of David Hume and George Berkeley, who regarded ideas in the mind as a basis for the external world. Instead, the pugnacious but lively Reid took a much more ‘common sense’ view in basing his ideas of reality on sensus communis. Starting from a Ciceronian, stoical platform, he developed his views on more rational attitudes towards reality - ‘direct realism’. In embarking upon An Inquiry he took a critical stance specifically against John Locke and the Treatise of Human Nature (1739) as he declared in his opening statement. ‘I THOUGHT it unreasonable...upon the authority of philosophers, to admit a hypothesis, which, in my opinion, overturns all philosophy, all religion and virtue, and all common sense: and finding that all the systems concerning the human understanding which I was acquainted with, were built upon this hypothesis, I resolved to inquire into this subject anew, without regard to any hypothesis. WHAT I now humbly present...is the fruit of this inquiry, so far only as it regards the five senses; in which I claim no other merit, than that of having given great attention to the operations of my own mind, and of having expressed, with all the perspicuity I was able, what I conceive every man, who gives the same attention, will feel and perceive.’ 
 
Thomas Reid became professor of moral philosophy at the University of Glasgow, which underscored his importance, though he swam against the main philosophical tide. Even Hume, on reading An Inquiry, acknowledged that the work ‘is wrote in a lively and entertaining manner’. By restricting himself to an examination of the five senses ‘and the principles of human mind which are employed about’...Reid concluded ‘we have attempted an inquiry only into one little corner of the human mind; that corner which seems to be most exposed to vulgar observation, and to be most easily comprehended’. An Inquiry is read in a characterful manner by James Gillies.
