Extractions: Mary Wollstonecraft Mary was most likely born in London, one of three girls in a family of six children. Her father was a drunk and a bully. Her parents were of both Irish descent and Mary spent her childhood moving about the country while her father looked for work. In 1780 when her mother died, she moved in with a friend and her mother and began work as a seamstress. When her friend left her husband, she and Mary opened a school in Islington and then at Newington Green, but the school failed in 1985. Mary went to London to be with her sister for the birth of her child, but when Mary arrived in London her sister was already dead. Mary found a position as governess to the children of Lord Kingsborough (later Earl of Kingston) but was discharged after one year, when the children became too fond of her and Lady Kingsborough became jealous. After that Mary worked for Johnson, the radical publisher, reading manuscripts, translating articles and writing for magazines. The French Revolution broke out and Mary went to Paris to be in the midst of it all. There she met Captain Gilbert Imlay, an American from New Jersey.

William Godwin, 17561836. Anarchistic/Utopian political and social philosopher- husband of early feminist author Mary Wollestonecraft
http://cepa.newschool.edu/het/profiles/wgodwin.htm

Extractions: Anarchistic/Utopian political and social philosopher - husband of early feminist author Mary Wollestonecraft and father of Mary Shelley (writer of "Frankenstein" and wife of romantic poet Percy Byssche Shelley). A profound optimist concerning human nature, he nonetheless recognized the exploitative nature of capitalism and proposed a utopian restructuring of society whereby those who earn more than their basic needs would distribute the surplus to the needy. In his famous 1793 plea for anarchy, Godwin posited that the pursuit of happiness is the only object of personal and social ethics. In an early utilitarian leap, Godwin actually went on to argue that "Justice" requires the maximization of aggregate pleasure. His optimistic prognostics on the ultimate "perfectibility" of mankind led Malthus to respond with his dismal essay on population.

Extractions: Große Anarchisten Teil 8 William Godwin (1756-1836) (etwas mehr Bleiwüste als sonst aber dafür umso interessanter und lesenswerter- also lasst euch nicht entmutigen und kämpft euch durch den Text!) William Godwin ist nicht nur der erste Vertreter des modernen Anarchismus, sondern auch sein konsequentester und weitblickendster Theoretiker. Eine Ironie des Schicksals wollte jedoch, daß sein Einfluß auf die anarchistische Bewegung des 19. Jhs. minimal blieb, während er aus der Literatur der englischen Romantik ebensowenig wegzudenken der unnatürlich und noch in der besten seiner Formen ein Übel ist, da er ausschließlich den egoistischen Interessen einiger weniger dient. Obwohl Godwin, wie fast alle Anarchisten, den unabhängigen Kleinproduzenten als gesellschaftliches Idealbild vor Augen hat, ist er kein Maschinenstürmer. Er will im Gegenteil alle Möglichkeiten der Automation ausgeschöpft wissen, glaubt er doch, daß durch sie die physische Arbeit auf eine halbe Stunde pro Tag reduziert werden kann. Was Godwin an der Phase der Industrialisierung, in die er sich hineingeraten sieht so stört, ist die Notwendigkeit menschlicher Kooperation bei der Bedienung von Maschinen. Es gilt, möglichst rasch ins Zeitalter der Automation hinüberzugelangen, in dem der einzelne Herr der Maschine und damit auch wieder seiner Zeiteinteilung sein wird. Godwins freiheitlich- individualistische Grundeinstellung ist so radikal, daß ihm jede Form von Zwang, der er das Individuum ausgesetzt sieht, im Innersten zuwider ist. Sogar gemeinsame Mahlzeiten empfindet er als unzumutbaren Zwang, erst recht natürlich die Ehe.

http://www.robert-morten.de/baseportal/Redaktionssytem/britannia_mini_detail&Id=

Extractions: Godwin, William (1756-1836) Englischer Philosoph und Schriftsteller. Godwin übte in zweierlei Hinsicht großen Einfluß auf jüngere Autoren seiner Zeit aus: zum einen als wichtiger Theoretiker der romantischen Bewegung, zum anderen durch seine politisch-anarchistischen Schriften. Insbesondere in den Werken Shelleys Coleridges Wordsworth' und Southeys ist sein Einfluß spürbar. William Godwin wurde am 3. März 1756 in Wisbech (Cambridgeshire) geboren. Von 1777 bis 1783 war er Pfarrer einer nonkonformistischen Sekte, bekannte sich aber 1785 zum Atheismus, als dessen glühender Verfechter er sich in seinen späteren Werken auswies. 1793 schrieb er sein bekanntestes Werk, "The Enquiry Concerning Political Justice, and Its Influence on General Virtue and Happiness" "Untersuchung über politische Gerechtigkeit und ihren Einfluss auf Moral und Glückseligkeit" ), eine Abhandlung seiner Theorien über den philosophischen Anarchismus. Da er von der individuellen Vollkommenheit menschlicher Wesen und ihrer Begabung zur Vernunft und somit zu einem Leben in Harmonie ohne Gesetze und Institutionen überzeugt war, hielt er alle Formen und Stufen der Kontrolle von außen für unerträglich. Seine Verachtung für die Einschränkung einer Person durch eine andere oder durch eine Regierung kennzeichnete auch seinen Roman "Things as They Are, or the Adventures of Caleb Williams"

http://www.radio4all.org/anarchy/godwin.html

Extractions: William Godwin (Mary Shelley's father), is the earliest modern anarchist thinker. Excerpted from The Anarchist Writings of William Godwin published by Freedom Press. The reader who would form a just estimate of the reasonings of these volumes, cannot perhaps proceed more judiciously, than by examining for himself the truth of these principles, and the support they afford to the various inferences interspersed through the work. I. The true object of moral and political disquisition, is pleasure or happiness. The primary, or earliest class of human pleasures, is the pleasures of the external senses. In addition to these, man is susceptible of certain secondary pleasures, as the pleasures of intellectual feeling, the pleasures of sympathy, and the pleasures of self-approbation. The secondary pleasures are probably more exquisite than the primary: Or, at least, The most desirable state of man, is that, in which he has access to these sources of pleasure, and is in possession of a happiness the most varied and uninterrupted. This state is a state of high civilization.

Extractions: William Godwin, , political philosopher, husband of Mary Wollstonecraft , and father of Mary Shelley Godwin's works, including works of political philosophy (including An Enquiry concerning Political Justice ) and several novels (including Caleb Williams and St. Leon ), advocate religious dissent, the rule of reason, and personal freedom bordering on political anarchy. Political Justice emphasizes the relationship between systems of government and ethical philosophy? In it he argues for the ultimate perfectibility of mankind, which he believed would result when reason assumed its proper place. Existing political systems, however, failed to produce happiness, equity, or freedom: in his insistence on the corrupting power of government, Godwin went beyond Rousseau 's ? Power? Property was to be held in common and made available to the neediest? Full Biography Works: An Enquiry concerning Political Justice The Pantheon, or, Ancient History of the Gods of Greece and Rome

http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/7404/godwinteach.html

Extractions: Nothing can be more pitiable... There is but one considerable objection that seems to oppose all these advantages [to a libertarian education]. The preceptor is terrified at the outset, and says, How shall I render the labors of literature an object of desire , and still more how shall I maintain this desire in all its vigour, in spite of the discouragements that will daily occur, and in spite of the quality incident to almost every human passion, that its fervour disappears in proportion as the novelty of the object subsides? But let us not hastily admit this for an insuperable objection. If the plan here proposed augments the difficulties of the teacher in one particular point, let it be remembered that it relieves him from an insufferable burthen in other repects. Nothing can be more pitable than the condition of the instructor in the present modes of education. He is the worst of slaves. He is consigned to the severest of imprisonments... Like the unfortunate wretch upon whom the lot has fallen in a city reduced to extremities, he is destroyed, that others may live... He is regarded as a tyrant by those under his jurisdiction, and he is a tyrant.

Extractions: William Godwin, the father of Mary Shelley, was born March 3, 1756. He was a noted philosopher and novelist. His most famous works were a novel, Caleb Williams , which many consider to be the first detective story, and A n Inquiry into the Nature of Political Justice, a great treatise on liberalism. He was also known for his unshakeable intellectual honesty. " I will follow truth wherever she leads." Another interesting fact about William Godwin's belief system is that he believed that every individual life is inescapably determined by a chain of earlier events, which are not necessarily important in themselves. An example is; what if Shakespeare's mother had fallen off a ladder when she was pregnant. His father, John Godwin, was a strict Calvanist minister, who believed in predestination, original sin, and divine retribution. John Godwin had William read The Bible , which William knew in it's entirety by the time he was eight. William was an extremely intelligent child. He learned to read at the age of four and was sent to school at the age of eight where he learned history, poetry, and handwriting. Since none of his brothers displayed an interest in intellectual pursuits, his family decided to train him for the ministry. So, at the age of eleven, William was sent to live with the Reverend Samuel Newton, who was considered to be the best teacher in the district. The Reverend was a member of the strictist of Calvinist sects. Willaim's father, John Godwin, died in 1773. Shortly after, William's mother sent him to Hoxton Academy for Dissenters in London. Here William studied classics, theology, philosophy, Greek, and Latin. He also learned usable amounts of French, German, Italian, and Hebrew. William was successful at Hoxton but was not happy. A sense of loneliness, which grew over the years and is a theme in his novels, was already apparent. He left Hoxton in 1778 and accepted his first appointment as a dissenting minister in
