Wasn t able to talk about it with mr. taylor. mill wrote about the ancient greeks, socrates laid down the rules no dogma. Gave us a method to develop a clear thinking mind. Taylor problems with education, just drilling info to them. exposed dangers of social conformity anticipating the tyranny of the majority. Both were writing about emanicipation of women, liberty for all. big deal back then - spoke about property law reforms, violence against women. that her name never appeared as co-author tell us something of the day, her husband forbade publishment.
