He succeeds in showing how their differing conceptions of science and human nature influence and affect their respective approaches to philosophy and to the analysis of female (in)equality in particular. Guillin shines a bright searchlight into long-neglected aspects of both men?s thinking ? for example, Mill?s proposal to construct an ?ethology?, or science of character-formation, and Comte?s seemingly bizarre interest in phrenology ? and the ways in which these shaped their views of women?s intellectual and political capacities. Guillin?s wide-ranging study examines both men?s major and minor works, their correspondence with one another, and the reasons for the final acrimonious break between two of the nineteenth century?s most original and important thinkers. 410 0$aStudies in the history of political thought ;$vv. 1. 606 $aSex discrimination against women 606 $aSex differences 606 $aWomen's rights 615 0$aSex discrimination against women. 615 0$aSex differences. 615 0$aWomen's rights. 676 $a305.4201 700 $aGuillin$b Vincent$01575402 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792370003321 996 $aAuguste Comte and John Stuart Mill on sexual equality$93852350 997 $aUNINA
