Not Guilty

A Defence of the Bottom Dog

Beschreibung

"Not Guilty: A Defence Of The Bottom Dog" by Robert Blatchford delves into the age-old debate of free will versus determinism. Blatchford, a prominent socialist thinker, presents a compelling argument exploring the ethical and moral implications of societal structures on individual actions. This thought-provoking work examines whether individuals are truly responsible for their choices, or if their lives are largely predetermined by their environment and social circumstances. Through the lens of philosophy and social commentary, "Not Guilty" challenges readers to consider the forces that shape human behavior, particularly for those marginalized and disadvantaged - "the bottom dog." Blatchford's writing prompts critical reflection on concepts of justice, responsibility, and the potential for societal reform. This edition allows a new audience to engage with Blatchford's important contribution to the philosophical discussion around individual agency and its relationship to social justice.

Autor

In the United Kingdom, Robert Peel Glanville Blatchford was an English socialist activist, writer, and journalist. He was also well-known for being a patriot, an atheist, and a critic of eugenics. Following the passing of his wife in the early 1920s, he became spiritual. In Maidstone, Kent, on March 17, 1851, Blatchford was born. His parents named him after the Conservative Prime Minister Robert Peel, who passed away the previous year: Georgina Louisa Corri (maiden; 1821-1890), an actress, and strolling comedian John Glanville Blatchford. Via his mother, Domenico Corri (1746-1825), he was related to his great-grandfather, an Italian publisher and musician who relocated to Edinburgh to teach music in the late 1700s from Rome. Christine Glanville (1924-1999), an English puppeteer, was one of his grandnieces. Blatchford was raised by his mother when his father passed away in 1853. Blatchford spent a large portion of his early years near the theater, and she pursued her performing career for nine more years. Blatchford and his brother Montagu would act with their mother, earning extra money by executing comedic renditions and dances, in order to support the family. The family relocated to Halifax in 1862 in the hopes that Blatchford and his brother would be able to pursue trade education. At first, Blatchford worked as an odd job kid in a lithographic printing plant, receiving eighteen pence per week in pay. He went to school sporadically as a child, first in Halifax and then in Portsmouth.
