William Godwin har gått till historien som en av sin tids mest radikala tänkare och som den anarkistiska filosofins anfader. Mycket av det ryktet vilar på denna bok, vars första utgåva utkom 1793, fyra år efter stormningen av Bastiljen.Smittad av upplysningens optimistiska människosyn målar Godwin upp en vision om ett rationellare sätt att leva tillsammans som fria självständiga individer - människans potential att utvecklas är obegränsad, och de politiska institutionerna utgör snarast hinder för denna utveckling. Decentralisering, allas deltagande i produktionen, avskaffande av staten, ekonomisk jämlikhet, arbetstidsförkortning - allt detta har stått på anarkismens dagordning alltsedan Godwin.
Nu föreligger Godwins huvudverk för första gången i svensk översättning av Erik Carlqvist. Med ett introducerande förord av Ragnar Ohlsson, professor emeritus i filosofi. Den politiska rättvisan ingår i förlagets serie Svart sten.
William Godwins (1756-1836) liv var i flera avseenden lika fängslande som hans verk. Han var gift med den feministiska pionjären Mary Wollstonecraft som skrev Till försvar av kvinnans rättigheter, och tillsammans hade de dottern Mary Godwin (senare Shelley), författaren till Frankenstein och gift med den romantiske poeten P. B. Shelley.
Godwin började sin bana som präst men lämnade snart kyrkan för att försörja sig som journalist, romanförfattare och filosof. Med sina samhällskritiska texter blev snart en av centralfigurerna i de brittiska radikala kretsarna under 1790-talet.

Kvinnlig frigörelse var vad som drev Mary Wollstonecraft, författare av "Till försvar för kvinnans rättigheter". Hennes feministiska filosofi var banbrytande för sin tid och fungerar än idag som en källa till inspiration. Men vem var egentligen denna pionjär?
William Godwins intima och ärliga minnesteckning över sin fru Mary Wollstonecraft skrevs veckorna efter hennes bortgång och gjorde skandal bland vänner och kritiker när den publicerades 1798. Idag betraktas den som en milstolpe i den moderna biografins utveckling.
Boken utgör också en vändpunkt i William Godwins filosofiska utveckling från en extrem rationalism till en större förståelse för känslornas och sympatins moraliska bäring, något som också märks i hans senare skrifter.
Elisabeth Mansén, professor i idéhistoria vid Stockholms universitet, har skrivit ett initierat efterord.

In these two closely linked works - a travel book and a biography of its author - we witness a moving encounter between two of the most daring and original minds of the late eighteenth century: A Short Residence in Sweden is the record of Wollstonecraft's last journey in search of happiness, into the remote and beautiful backwoods of Scandinavia. The quest for a lost treasure ship, the pain of a wrecked love affair, memories of the French Revolution, and the longing for some Golden Age, all shape this vivid narrative, which Richard Holmes argues is one of the neglected masterpieces of early English Romanticism.Memoirs is Godwin's own account of Wollstonecraft's life, written with passionate intensity a few weeks after her tragic death. Casting aside literary convention, Godwin creates an intimate portrait of his wife, startling in its candour and psychological truth. Received with outrage by friends and critics alike, and virtually suppressed for a century, it can now be recognized as one of the landmarks in the development of modern biography. 133 kr

One of the great polemics and the key founding anarchist text, Godwin's Enquiry is his major work of political philosophy.Enquiry Concerning Political Justice established William Godwin as the chief exponent of British radicalism, in the tradition of the French Revolution. In it, he criticizes the 'brute engine' of government for systematizing oppression of individual liberty in the name of law and order, and calls for the abolition of all forms of rule and for the institution of an anarchist society based on the principles of simplicity, sincerity and equality. His book influenced everyone from Shelley and Coleridge (who revered him) to Thomas Malthus (who wrote his Essay on the Principle of Population in outraged response to him). The book's ideas would later echo through the writings of thinkers as diverse as Proudhon, Kropotkin, Marx and Thoreau, and it remains one of the great polemics of political literature.William Godwin, the famous philosopher and novelist, was born in East Anglia in 1756. The son of a Presbyterian minister, he was educated to follow in his father's footsteps, but subsequently lost his faith in God. He then devoted himself to writing, expounding his enlightenment and anarchist ideals in novels and essays. In 1797 he married Mary Wollstonecraft, the famous feminist; their daughter would grow up to be Mary Shelley, the author of Frankenstein. Godwin died in 1836. Isaac Kramnick is the Richard J. Schwartz Professor of Government at Cornell where he has taught since 1972. He has written or edited some twenty books among which his Bolingbroke and His Circle: The Politics of Nostalgia in the Age of Walpole won the Conference of British Studies Prize for best book on British politics.- Häftad, Engelska, 2022

When honest young Caleb Williams comes to work as a secretary for Squire Falkland, he soon begins to suspect that his new master is hiding a terrible secret. But as he digs deeper into Falkland's past and finally unearths the guilty truth, the results of his curiosity prove calamitous when - even though Caleb has loyally sworn never to disclose what he has discovered - the Squire enacts a cruel revenge. A tale of gripping suspense and psychological power, William Godwin's novel creates a searing depiction of the intolerable persecution meted out to a good man in pursuit of justice and equality. Written to expose the political oppression and corrupt hierarchies its author saw in the world around him, Caleb Williams (1794) makes a radical call to end the tyrannical misuses of power. - E-bokPDF, Engelska, 2009

''To a rational being there can be but one rule of conduct, justice, and one mode of ascertaining that rule, the exercise of his understanding.'' Godwin''s Political Justice is the founding text of philosophical anarchism. Written in the immediate aftermath of the French Revolution, it exemplifies the political optimism felt by many writers and intellectuals. Godwin drew on enlightenment ideas and his background in religious dissent for the principles of justice, utility, and the sanctity of individual judgement that drove his powerful critique of all forms of secular and religious authority. He predicts the triumph of justice and equality over injustice, and of mind over matter, and the eventual vanquishing of human frailty and mortality. He also foresees the gradual elimination of practices governing property, punishment, law, and marriage and the displacement of politics by an expanded personal morality resulting from reasoned argument and candid discussion. Political Justice raises deep philosophical questions about the nature of our duty to others that remain central to modern debates on ethics and politics. This edition reprints the first-edition text of 1793, and examines Godwin''s evolving philosophy in the context of his life and work.
