Civilization (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162895079)

Civilization is a philosophical work by John Stuart Mill that explores the concept of civilization and its impact on society. The book is divided into three parts, each of which focuses on a different aspect of civilization. In the first part, Mill discusses the history of civilization and argues that it has brought about significant progress in human society. He also examines the role of religion in civilization and the ways in which it has influenced the development of society.The second part of the book focuses on the impact of civilization on individual liberty and the importance of protecting individual rights in a civilized society. Mill argues that while civilization has brought about many benefits, it has also created new forms of oppression and tyranny. He emphasizes the need for a strong legal system that protects individual freedoms and prevents abuses of power.In the final part of the book, Mill discusses the role of education in civilization and the importance of promoting intellectual and moral development in individuals. He argues that education is essential for creating a truly civilized society, and that it should be accessible to all members of society regardless of their social status or background.Overall, Civilization is a thought-provoking exploration of the concept of civilization and its impact on society. Mill's insights and arguments continue to be relevant today, making this book a valuable read for anyone interested in philosophy, sociology, or politics.THIS 54 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Dissertations and Discussions: Political, Philosophical and Historical V1, by John Stuart Mill.
