Harriet Taylor Mill

British philosopher (1807–1858)

Harriet Taylor Mill wrote at a period when the questions philosophy asked were themselves being renegotiated.

The record lists Harriet Taylor Mill as British philosopher (1807–1858).

Harriet Taylor Mill was born at London in 1807. Her recorded nationality is United Kingdom.

The nineteenth century produced systems on a grand scale, and then the reaction against them.

The recorded fields of work are poetry.

Philosophical influence is measured in the questions a thinker made unavoidable.

That the work was done from United Kingdom matters: philosophical traditions, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.

Harriet Taylor Mill died in 1858, aged 51. The arguments remain in print, which is the form in which philosophy survives.
