Summary

In "Unto This Last, and Other Essays on Political Economy," John Ruskin challenges conventional economic theories of the 19th century by interweaving moral philosophy with socio-economic critique. Ruskin adopts a highly eloquent and accessible literary style, blending rhetorical flourishes with poignant observations on wealth, labor, and the moral responsibilities of society. His essays stand as a counterpoint to utilitarian economic practices, presenting a vision where economic principles align with ethical imperatives, thus situating his work within the broader context of the Industrial Revolution and its social repercussions. John Ruskin (1819-1900) was a prominent critic, social thinker, and art theorist whose multifaceted engagement with literature and visual arts profoundly influenced his economic writings. His upbringing amidst the natural beauty of the Lake District and his profound appreciation for craftsmanship inform his arguments against the dehumanization of labor, presenting a philosophy that champions the dignity of work and community welfare. The intellectual milieu of Victorian Britain, characterized by rapid industrialization, undoubtedly shaped his perspectives as he sought to reestablish moral values within economics. This compelling collection is essential reading for those interested in the intersections of economics, ethics, and society. Ruskin's insights resonate with contemporary debates on capitalism and social justice, making it a crucial text for scholars and general readers alike. By engaging with Ruskin's thought, readers are invited to reconsider the very foundations of economic systems in light of human dignity and communal health.

    Person-Centered Therapy (PCT), also known as Client-Centered Therapy, was developed by Carl Rogers in the mid-20th century. It is one of the most influential and humanistic approaches to psychotherapy, focusing on the intrinsic potential for growth within each individual. At its core, PCT is rooted in the belief that every person has the capacity for self-understanding and self-direction, given the right environment. The therapeutic relationship is not one of authority or expertise; instead, it is based on mutual respect and understanding. This approach emphasizes the client's subjective experience as the most important aspect of therapy, with the therapist acting as a facilitator of the client's self-exploration and personal growth. 
Carl Rogers was a pioneering figure in the field of psychology, advocating for a shift away from the more directive methods that were common at the time. His emphasis on empathy, genuineness, and unconditional positive regard—three foundational components of PCT—marks a departure from the idea that therapists should control the process of healing. Instead, Rogers proposed that when individuals feel truly heard, understood, and accepted by another person, they are able to engage in meaningful self-exploration that leads to change. This trust in the client’s own ability to navigate their struggles forms the bedrock of Person-Centered Therapy. 
The essence of Person-Centered Therapy lies in the relationship between the client and therapist. Rather than focusing on diagnosing and treating specific problems, the therapy process is more holistic. It invites clients to explore their feelings, experiences, and sense of self in a supportive and nonjudgmental space.
