Updated digital transcription of the second part of the Spanish translation of the paper by Henry Reeve, “The Autobiography of John Stuart Mill”, Edinburgh Review, 134 (1874), pp. 91-129, Revista Europea, no. 6 (5 April 1874), pp. 167-172. The article continues its analysis of Mill's life, following the publication of the Autobiography of John Stuart Mill in English, focusing in this instance on the development of Mill's thought towards philosophical radicalism within the circle of young thinkers associated with Jeremy Bentham. Particular attention is given to Mill's collaboration with, and subsequent break from, the Edinburgh Review, an ideological rival to the Westminster Review, which was founded as an alternative by Jeremy Bentham and James Mill. John Stuart Mill and the most radical Benthamites frequently contributed to the Westminster Review in its early period. Reeve also critically examines Mill's personal crisis in his youth, interpreting it primarily in religious terms as resulting from a lack of adequate emotional support during his upbringing, due to the rationalist and atheistic education he received.

A Reconstruction of the Smithian Concept of Political Obligation

  • Nicole Darat Guerra
Published 2024-10-02
The text reconstructs Smith's concept of political obligation, based on a critical review of three of his main works: Theory of Moral Sentiments, Lessons on Jurisprudence and The Wealth of Nations. Although it is not a central concept in his theory, the author's proposal, in continuity with Hume's, presents an alternative reading to the dominant readings based on consent. Although this questioning has critical potential, the Scotsman's attachment to inherited hierarchies as guarantors of social order will have conservative effects that subsequent historical events will refute.
