Recensioner

I read Mill’s 1859 seminal statement on democratic values and moral and political thought on three separate occasions over my extended educational experience: the first in the context of its focus on freedom of speech as a journalism major in a community college; the second in a political thought class as a history and political science dual major while I pursued my bachelor’s degree; and the third during law school while working on my student note. That latest reading was more than a quarter of a century ago. Since then, I learned that Mill’s wife, Harriet Taylor, contributed significantly to the thoughts expressed in this influential essay. Another woman hidden historical figure.

The essay seems even more vibrant today than it did in my earlier readings. The Mills’s focus on the free key freedoms – speech, thought, action, and association – seems hardly surprising in the 21st century. These freedoms are the cornerstone of democracy as an antidote to tyranny. And these freedoms are currently under attack even in the United States, the greatest successful democracy in the history of the world. At least until now. The Mills’s liberalism challenged the Victorian orthodoxy based on stuffy social customs and has been advanced by great American thinkers and jurists who would be appalled to be considered anything “liberal”. Indeed, the values set forth in their essay form the basis of my own strong convictions about the legitimate authority and limits of government vis-à-vis the individuals who are served by it, and as embodied in the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Its relevance today cannot be overstated.

I have made it my business, though, to read essays critical of the Mills's work, so I went down that rabbit hole and have gathered some further reading, including but not limited to Liberty, Equality, Fraternity by James Fitzjames Stephens (a contemporary of Mills, I believe). I have my own criticisms, but they are minor, and would like to see what others have to say.

Read this for my ethics class. He's so close to getting it right for me-if only it wasn't for his conflicting faith in institutions. Also for all his talk of freedom, there's still some normative conditions involved.

I liked this one, but it was not as profound or as memorable as my friends told me it was, so I was a bit disappointed. Reading this book was not particularly entertaining, but gave me some background for reading other, more modern arguments related to liberty and society.

Nel 1849 John Taylor morì e due anni dopo sua moglie Harriet Hardy poté sposare John Stuart Mill, al quale la accomunavano il pensiero filosofico e un amore nato ben prima della morte del primo marito. Harriet aveva idee ben precise in merito alla necessaria uguaglianza tra uomini e donne e finì per influenzare Mill.

Un'influenza che non si limitò alla scrittura di saggi, ma si tradusse anche in una battaglia politica contro la discriminazione delle donne. Fu proprio John Stuart Mill, deputato al parlamento inglese, a presentare nel 1867 l'emendamento che, sostituendo “uomo” con “persona”, modificò il Reform Act e permise così di estendere successivamente il diritto di voto alle donne.

Sulla servitù delle donne è del 1869 e ai tempi fu considerato un testo parecchio progressista – e parecchio oltraggioso per chi considerava la disparità dei sessi un fatto naturale e incontrovertibile. Mill, però, non ci sta ad accettare questa discriminazione e la demolisce a colpi di ragionamenti e argomentazioni.

Ora, non aspettatevi che Mill stia là a incitare le suffragette a incendiare le cassette della posta e a sfondare finestre: preferiva di gran lunga soluzioni meno violente (della serie, sediamoci intorno a un tavolo, così vi dimostro che siete solo una manica di sessisti senza cervello).

Non che le argomentazioni di Mill, con il senno del poi, fossero chissà quanto rivoluzionarie: oggi, per esempio, leggere di caratteristiche che sarebbero “innate” nelle donne ci farebbe ridere se non fosse che ancora in tanti sostengono queste tesi. Tuttavia, non riesco ad avercela con Mill per questo: scriveva nel 1869, che diamine! Trovo più sconvolgente che oggi ci siano persone convinte che la maternità sia l'unico, vero scopo della vita di qualunque donna e che senza figli queste finiranno per aggirarsi nel mondo con un profondo senso di vuoto e piene di rimpianti per la bella fertilità andata.

Quindi, se deciderete di leggere questo saggio (e io ve lo consiglio), non dimenticatevi mai del periodo storico nel quale è stato scritto: se in alcuni punti vi farà salire la bile, pensate che Mill, con le conoscenze che abbiamo oggi, oltre alla piena parità dei sessi, probabilmente sosterrebbe anche matrimonio egualitario e gestazione per altri.
