Philosophers of Individual Rights and Society: The Role of Rights, Ethics, and Political Thought in Human Society (3 in 1)

This book consists of the following three titles:

- Ayn Rand: Ayn Rand, born Alisa Zinov'yevna Rosenbaum in 1905 in St. Petersburg, Russia, had a formative early life that significantly influenced her later philosophical ideas. Growing up in a middle-class Jewish family, Rand experienced the upheavals of the Russian Revolution and the subsequent rise of Bolshevism. These events deeply affected her worldview and instilled in her a strong opposition to collectivism and authoritarianism.

- John Stuart Mill: John Stuart Mill, a British philosopher and political economist, remains one of the most influential thinkers of the 19th century. Born in 1806, Mill was exposed to rigorous intellectual training from an early age, particularly through his father, James Mill, a prominent utilitarian philosopher. This early exposure shaped Mill's understanding of the world, leading him to become a key figure in the development of utilitarianism, a moral theory that evaluates actions based on their ability to promote the greatest happiness for the greatest number of people.

- Mary Wollstonecraft: Mary Wollstonecraft was a pioneering British writer and philosopher whose ideas on women’s rights and education laid the foundation for modern feminism. Born on April 27, 1759, in Spitalfields, London, she grew up in a time when society severely restricted women's opportunities. Despite these limitations, Wollstonecraft’s determination, intellect, and relentless pursuit of knowledge allowed her to challenge the status quo and advocate for gender equality. Her life was shaped by personal struggles, societal constraints, and an unwavering belief in the power of education.
