Sinossi

The Collected Works of John Stuart Mill is a comprehensive anthology that encapsulates the seminal thoughts and writings of one of the foremost philosophers and political economists of the 19th century. Spanning a vast array of themes such as liberty, utilitarianism, and the intersection of society and individuality, Mill's literary style is characterized by its clarity, rigor, and an unwavering commitment to the principles of reason and human flourishing. This collection not only includes his pivotal works, such as On Liberty and The Subjection of Women, but also offers insightful essays that elucidate the socio-political context of his time, reflecting the challenges of Victorian England and the burgeoning discourse of liberal thought. John Stuart Mill, raised in an environment steeped in Enlightenment ideas and rigorous education, was profoundly influenced by his father, James Mill, and contemporaries such as Jeremy Bentham. His intellectual journey was marked by a fervent commitment to social reform, advocating for women's rights, and critiquing the limitations of conventional morality. Mill'Äôs experiences with personal bereavement and intellectual crises deeply informed his writings, leading to a more nuanced understanding of liberty and social justice. This collection is an essential read for anyone interested in the foundations of modern thought. Readers will find Mill's eloquent arguments and profound insights not only relevant to contemporary discussions of individual rights and social ethics but also immensely thought-provoking as they grapple with the ongoing challenges of freedom and societal progress.

    A pathbreaking look at Native women of the early South who defined power and defied authority. 
     
     
     
    Historian Alejandra Dubcovsky tells a story of war, slavery, loss, remembrance, and the women whose resilience and resistance transformed the colonial South. In exploring their lives she rewrites early American history, challenging the established male-centered narrative. 
     
     
      
    Dubcovsky reconstructs the lives of Native women—Timucua, Apalachee, Chacato, and Guale—to show how they made claims to protect their livelihoods, bodies, and families. Through the stories of the Native cacica who demanded her authority be recognized; the elite Spanish woman who turned her dowry and household into a source of independent power; the Floridiana who slapped a leading Native man in the town square; and the Black woman who ran a successful business at the heart of a Spanish town, Dubcovsky reveals the formidable women who claimed and used their power, shaping the history of the early South.

    The Antichrist

    Friedrich Nietzsche

    The Antichrist is a book by the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, originally published in 1895. Although it was written in 1888, its controversial content made Franz Overbeck and Heinrich Köselitz delay its publication, along with Ecce Homo. The German title can be translated into English as either The Anti-Christ or The Anti-Christian, depending on how the German word Christ is translated.  
    Nietzsche claimed in the foreword to have written the book for a very limited readership. In order to understand the book, he asserted that the reader "...must be honest in intellectual matters to the point of hardness to so much as endure my seriousness, my passion." The audience should be above politics and nationalism. Also, the usefulness or harmfulness of truth should not be a concern. Characteristics such as "strength which prefers questions for which no one today is sufficiently daring; courage for the forbidden" are also needed. He disdained all other readers.
