O Autorze

William Godwin was an English journalist, political philosopher, and novelist, best known for his works that laid the groundwork for modern anarchism and liberal thought. His most notable work, "Political Justice," published in 1793, challenged the political norms of his time and argued for individual freedom and the necessity of social reform. Godwin's philosophy emphasized reason and the potential for human improvement, which resonated with the emerging ideas of the Enlightenment.

In addition to his political writings, Godwin is also recognized for his novel "Caleb Williams," which explores themes of oppression and the moral dilemmas faced by individuals in society. His marriage to the famous feminist Mary Wollstonecraft further integrated his life and work into the broader discourse of social justice and women's rights. Godwin's influence extended to later thinkers and writers, making him a pivotal figure in the landscape of philosophical and literary history.
