Drawing from a range of literary styles, from abstract philosophical essays to more direct social commentaries, this anthology presents a rich tapestry of thoughts that dissect and expand upon the concept of individual freedom. The selected works not only highlight the philosophical underpinnings of liberty but also grapple with its implications in diverse real-world contexts, offering readers varied insights into the enduring significance of freedom. The authors, John Stuart Mill and W. L. Courtney, underpin this collection with their profound intellectual legacies. Mill's seminal contributions to the philosophy of liberalism are complemented by Courtney's perceptive analyses, which offer a broader, historically anchored understanding of freedom.

This anthology serves as an essential read for those eager to immerse themselves in the dynamic interplay of philosophical thought and societal application. Offering a unique opportunity to engage with multiple perspectives on a central theme, this collection not only educates but also provokes critical reflection and dialogue.

Mad about Shakespeare: From...

Jonathan Bate

‘Enlightening, moving’ SIR IAN MCKELLEN
From the acclaimed and bestselling biographer Jonathan Bate, a luminous new exploration of Shakespeare and how his themes can untangle comedy and tragedy, learning and loving in our modern lives.
‘The web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill together.’
How does one survive the death of a loved one, the mess of war, the experience of being schooled, of falling in love, of growing old, of losing your mind?
Shakespeare’s world is never too far different from our own ‘permeated with the same tragedies, the same existential questions and domestic worries. In this extraordinary book, Jonathan Bate brings then and now together. He investigates moments of his own life – losses and challenges – and asks whether, if you persevere with Shakespeare, he can offer a word of wisdom or a human insight for any time or any crisis. Along the way we meet actors such as Judi Dench and Simon Callow, and writers such as Dr Johnson, John Keats, Virginia Woolf and Sylvia Plath, who turned to Shakespeare in their own dark times.
This is a personal story about loss, the black dog of depression, unexpected journeys and the very human things that echo through time, resonating with us all at one point or another.
Bate's autobiography is not just a collection of his experiences, but a study of how Shakespeare's themes have permeated through history and continue to resonate in our lives. His criticism of the tragedies and existential questions we face, and his teaching of how to navigate through them, is a top literary work that transcends the English language.
For fans of Stephen Greenblatt (Will In The World), and Ben Crystal (Shakespeare on Toast).

In the shadow of violence

Mohammad Fazeli

Mohammad Fazeli has summarized the book *"Violence and Social Orders"* in five parts.    This book, one of the final works by Douglass North, was written after his 90th birthday in collaboration with Barry Weingast, a political science professor at Stanford University, and John Wallis, an economic historian. It offers a unique perspective on the history of development.    The book examines the theory of violence and social orders in several developing countries. While it provides a historical interpretation of the transformations in European societies, the authors use this historical understanding to critique conventional development policies. In the final chapter, they discuss the theoretical implications of this alternative view of history.    The book introduces distinct theoretical hypotheses, making it highly engaging for those interested in political and economic development.    This work challenges many of the conventional teachings on political and economic development in Iran.
