15+ Political Science. Classics Collection: The Art of War, Tao Te Ching, The Republic, Meditations,

What is Political Science? Within human society, it is customary to distinguish between the following spheres: economic, political, social, and spiritual. The political sphere is important in that it involves and determines the interactions of different political powers. This understanding lies at the foundation of any political analysis of public life. Politics as a specific sector within human society is as old as it is modern. Many famous statesmen and scientists are credited as the authors of laws and political systems. In today's global community, facing growing pressures of political extremism and radicalism, knowledge of basic political science principles should help students develop a democratic ethos and foster qualities, such as political tolerance, compromise, and cooperation, while learning to express and defend their interests in a civilized manner. The foundation of political science lies in the accumulated knowledge of mankind. Each included piece o this collection is required reading at some of the best universities on the planet including: Harvard, Princeton, Yale, and Columbia Universities, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, among others.

Utilitarianism

Mill's book Utilitarianism first appeared as a series of three articles published in Fraser's Magazine in 1861 and was reprinted as a single book in 1863. John Stuart Mill was brought up as a Benthamite with the explicit intention that he would carry on the cause of utilitarianism. Utilitarianism is a family of consequentialist ethical theories that promotes actions that maximize happiness and well-being for the majority of a population. Although different varieties of utilitarianism admit different characterizations, the basic idea behind all of them is to in some sense maximize utility, which is often defined in terms of well-being or related concepts. Utilitarianism is a version of consequentialism, which states that the consequences of any action are the only standard of right and wrong. Unlike other forms of consequentialism, such as egoism and altruism, utilitarianism considers the interests of all beings equally. Famous works of the author John Stuart Mill: A System of Logic, Essays on Some Unsettled Questions of Political Economy, Principles of Political Economy, A Few Words on Non-intervention, On Liberty, Considerations on Representative Government, Utilitarianism, Аutobiography, Three Essays on Religion, Socialism, The Subjection of Women, England and Ireland.

[Spanish] - Sobre la Libertad

John Stuart Mill fue un filósofo y economista británico del siglo XIX, conocido por sus contribuciones en el ámbito del utilitarismo y la defensa de la libertad individual. En su obra 'Sobre la libertad' ('On Liberty'), Mill desarrolla una argumentación en favor de la libertad individual y la limitación de la interferencia del gobierno en la vida de los individuos. En 'Sobre la libertad', Mill sostiene que la libertad es un valor fundamental y esencial para el desarrollo humano y el florecimiento de la sociedad. Defiende la idea de que los individuos tienen derecho a la autonomía y a tomar sus propias decisiones siempre que no perjudiquen a los demás. Mill establece el principio del daño, según el cual la interferencia del gobierno solo está justificada para prevenir daños a los demás, y no para proteger a las personas de sí mismas o imponer una moralidad particular. Mill también aboga por la importancia de la diversidad y la tolerancia en una sociedad libre. Argumenta que la diversidad de opiniones y la libertad de expresión son esenciales para el progreso intelectual y social, ya que permiten el intercambio de ideas y la posibilidad de corregir errores. Mill defiende la libre expresión incluso cuando las ideas expresadas son consideradas ofensivas o impopulares, ya que sostiene que solo a través del debate abierto y la confrontación de diferentes puntos de vista podemos llegar a la verdad. En resumen, John Stuart Mill en 'Sobre la libertad' defiende la libertad individual como un principio fundamental y aboga por limitar la interferencia del gobierno en la vida de los individuos, promoviendo la diversidad de opiniones y la tolerancia como elementos clave en una sociedad libre y progresista.

Principles Of Political Economy

'Principles of Political Economy' is a book by the British philosopher and economist John Stuart Mill. It was first published in 1848 and is considered one of the most influential works in the field of economics. In this book, Mill sets out to provide a comprehensive account of the principles of political economy, which he defines as 'the science which treats of the production and distribution of wealth.' He covers a wide range of topics, including the nature of wealth, the laws of supply and demand, the role of competition, and the relationship between labor and capital. One of Mill's main contributions to the field of economics was his advocacy for a laissez-faire economic policy, which advocates for minimal government intervention in the market. He argued that a free market, where individuals are free to pursue their own self-interest, would lead to greater prosperity and economic growth. In addition to his economic theories, Mill also addressed social and political issues such as the role of women in society, the importance of education, and the need for democratic governance. Overall, 'Principles of Political Economy' is a seminal work in the history of economics and continues to be studied and debated today for its insights into economic theory and the role of government in the market.

On Liberty

'On Liberty' is a political philosophy book written by British philosopher John Stuart Mill, first published in 1859. The book is one of the most influential works in the history of liberalism, and argues for the importance of individual liberty and freedom of thought and expression. Mill argues that individuals should be free to think, speak, and act as they wish, as long as their actions do not harm others. He believes that free speech and the exchange of ideas are essential for the progress of society, and that government interference in these matters is harmful and unnecessary. In 'On Liberty', Mill also discusses the limits of individual freedom, arguing that individuals should be prevented from harming others or infringing upon their rights. He also recognizes the importance of social cohesion and collective action in certain situations, but maintains that these should be voluntary and not imposed by the government. Overall, 'On Liberty' is a powerful defense of individual liberty and a critique of the tendency of governments to interfere in the lives of their citizens. The book continues to be widely read and studied, and remains an important work in the field of political philosophy.

Utilitarianism

Utilitarianism is a moral theory that was developed by British philosopher John Stuart Mill in the 19th century. According to Mill, the ethical basis for decision-making should be the greatest happiness or pleasure for the greatest number of people. This principle is also known as the 'greatest happiness principle.' Mill believed that human happiness was the ultimate goal of morality and that actions should be judged according to their ability to promote happiness. He argued that actions that bring about the greatest amount of happiness for the greatest number of people are morally right, while actions that lead to pain or suffering are morally wrong. Mill believed that happiness should be measured by the amount of pleasure that people experience, and he distinguished between two types of pleasure: higher pleasures and lower pleasures. Higher pleasures are those that are associated with the intellect, such as the pursuit of knowledge or the appreciation of art, while lower pleasures are those that are associated with the body, such as the satisfaction of hunger or the gratification of sexual desire. According to Mill, higher pleasures are more desirable than lower pleasures because they are more intellectual and have a more lasting impact on a person's happiness. Mill's utilitarianism has been influential in many areas of philosophy, including ethics, political philosophy, and social theory. His emphasis on the importance of promoting the happiness of the greatest number of people has been used to justify a wide range of policies and practices, including democracy, public health measures, and the redistribution of wealth. However, Mill's theory has also been criticized for its focus on pleasure and its potential to justify actions that are harmful to minorities or individuals.

La esclavitud femenina

Un ensayo feminista pionero firmado por uno de los grandes filósofos del siglo XIX. Publicado en 1869, La esclavitud femenina abordó con valentía el problema de la desigualdad entre los sexos, definiéndolo como «uno de los principales obstáculos para el progreso de la humanidad». En opinión de John Stuart Mill, que publicó este tratado cuando las mujeres de su país no podían votar ni disponer de bienes, alcanzar una «igualdad perfecta» en materia legal y social era indispensable para una sociedad más justa, y no cabe duda de que su libro contribuyó a crearla al desmontar con implacable lógica el endeble argumentario de quienes favorecían la opresión histórica de la mujer. Nuestra edición incluye el prólogo de Emilia Pardo Bazán a la primera traducción española, así como una introducción actual de Amelia Valcárcel, que pone en perspectiva la historia del texto y sus ideas.

Mill’s On Liberty

John Stuart Mill’s 'On Liberty' was first published in 1859. In the 21st century this text confirms Socrates’ claim that 'it is only the life of true philosophy that scorns the life of political ambition' (Plato’s Republic, 521). Mill’s thinking about freedom in civic and social life examines fundamental principles shared among conservative, liberal, and radical politicians. The life of true philosophy stands outside the political battles that are rampant in society and seeks the political wisdom that is necessary for a good life in any age. 'On Liberty' should be read alongside the classic documents that declare the basic nature and importance of human freedom and liberty such as the 'U.S. Declaration of Independence' (1776), the French 'Rights of Man' (1789), 'The Declaration of Sentiments at the Seneca Falls Convention' (1848), and the 'United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights' (1948). When the officials of any government seek to change the laws that regulate individual liberty or when rhetoricians seek to change public opinion about what individuals should or should not be allowed to say or do, Mill’s 'On Liberty' serves as an antidote to the poisons of excessive intrusion into the lives of individuals.
