Camille Paglia. American feminist academic and critic Personal life[edit] Paglia was born in Endicott, New York, the eldest child[4] of Pasquale and Lydia Anne (née Colapietro) Paglia. All four of her grandparents were born in Italy. Her mother emigrated to the United States at five years old from Ceccano, in the province of Frosinone, Lazio, Italy.[2][5] Paglia has stated that her father's side of the family was from the Campanian towns of Avellino, Benevento, and Caserta.
Paglia was raised Roman Catholic,[7] and attended primary school in rural Oxford, New York, where her family lived in a working farmhouse.[8] Her father, a veteran of World War II,[9] taught at the Oxford Academy high school and exposed his young daughter to art through books he brought home about French art history. Paglia is an atheist, but has stated she has "a very spiritual mystic view of the universe".[22] Education[edit] Career[edit] Views[edit] Feminism[edit] Transgender people[edit] Climate change[edit] French academia[edit] Thomas Paine.

Life John Stuart Mill was born in Pentonville, then a suburb of London. He was the eldest son of James Mill, a Scotsman who had come to London and become a leading figure in the group of philosophical radicals which aimed to further the utilitarian philosophy of Jeremy Bentham. John Stuart Mill's mother was Harriet Barrow, who seems to have had very little influence upon him. James Mill's income was at first slight, as he struggled to make his living as a reviewer. At fifteen John Stuart Mill undertook the study of Bentham's various fragments on the theory of legal evidence.
In 1826, Mill suffered a sudden attack of intense depression. Mill met Gustave d'Eichtahl in 1828. Mill now saw his task to be that of helping British society to emerge into the coming organic period. Tactically, the social reformer in critical periods cannot proceed by formulating grand philosophic schemes, however correct they may be in principle. In 1830 Mill was introduced to Harriet Taylor. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. The Bujold Nexus - The Lois McMaster Bujold Homepage.
