Does anyone have any recommended NON fiction texts that i could use for individual and Society??? i need around two...

Charles Darwin - the origin of species?

I don't really know but that would shows the change in science taking place at the time. why do they have to be non-fiction?

 

[Gregor Samsa]

How about;

John Stuart Mill-On Liberty.

The text directly concerns the position of the individual to the state, and thus society, examining issues such as free speech. Written c.1859, which fits well into the relevant period.

Jeremy Bentham's 'Utilitarianism' could also be useful, influencing Mill, and proposing an ethical doctrine 'the happiness of the greatest number'.

Hmm.. Possibly Karl Marx & Friedrich Engels-The Communist Manifesto?

John Stuart Mill also has a good one on The Subjection of Women.

adam smith - wealth of nations is one that has been suggested to us. he is actually more well known around economics circles but it would be good in relation to P&P and N&S coz it deals with, well namely wealth ahaha but also social classes and esp in relation to N&S, labour industries
