We have seen that as mankind rises in the scale of civilization the body becomes increasingly less important. Nevertheless, I wish it to be clearly understood, that I do not maintain that it is preferable to be ill than well, but only that each state has its own peculiar privileges, which are rarely interchangeable. Health and sickness are merely different roads to achievement. The earth requires rain as well as sunshine; we need both tears and laughter; navvies are necessary and so are philosophers. The book details how people from many professions who had some or other physical disability or...

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.

The Three Essays on Religion were written at different times during Mill's life, and only published after his death. The first two, 'Nature' and 'The Utility of Religion' date from the 1850s - the period between the publication of 'The Principles of Political Economy' and 'On Liberty'. The third longer essay, 'Theism' was written between 1868 and 1870. The three essays were published posthumously in 1874. (Summary by Justin Brett)

My initial goal was to write a book for my family and friends, many of whom said, "You should write a book." On my eighty-eighth birthday, I decided it was time. It took a year to complete the task. It was so much fun. I started by writing down all the things I wanted to write about. Each time I felt like writing, I would choose a subject, and that would become a chapter. I had encouragement all along the way. I found a typist who was able to help and encourage me in so many ways. A publisher was my next step, and again, nothing but help and encouragement.

Camarada imaginario o encarnación del subconsciente, destinatario de postales que hablan de la extrañeza del mundo, el amigo al que la autora dirige estos poemas sirve de ancla incierta pero entrañable en el ir y venir de una voz: la de quien recorre el mundo en derivas vitales y literarias, a través de las rutas de la imaginación y los países ajenos. Un perro, corazón oculto del libro, trota sobre presencias y ausencias. La poesía como vía de descubrimiento, principio de incertidumbre que conlleva sorpresa y dicha.
