On Liberty — Page 13
She pointed out the need of such a chapter, and the extreme imperfection of the book without it; she was the cause of my writing it.
Ela apontou a necessidade de tal capítulo, e a extrema imperfeição do livro sem ele; ela foi a causa de eu escrevê-lo.
From this it would appear that she gave Mill that tendency to Socialism which, while it lends a progressive spirit to his speculations on politics, at the same time does not manifestly accord with his earlier advocacy of peasant proprietorships.
Com isso, parece que ela deu a Mill aquela tendência ao Socialismo que, embora empreste um espírito progressista às suas especulações sobre política, ao mesmo tempo não está manifestamente de acordo com a sua defesa anterior da propriedade camponesa.
Nor, again, is it, on the face of it, consistent with those doctrines of individual liberty which, aided by the intellectual companionship of his wife, he propounded in a later work.
Tampouco, novamente, é, na sua aparência, coerente com aquelas doutrinas de liberdade individual que, auxiliado pela companhia intelectual de sua esposa, ele propôs em uma obra posterior.
The ideal of individual freedom is not the ideal of Socialism, just as that invocation of governmental aid to which the Socialist resorts is not consistent with the theory of _laisser-faire_.
O ideal de liberdade individual não é o ideal do Socialismo, assim como aquela invocação de auxílio governamental à qual o Socialista recorre não é coerente com a teoria do _laisser-faire_.
Yet _Liberty_ was planned by Mill and his wife in concert.
No entanto, _Liberdade_ foi planejada por Mill e sua esposa em conjunto.
Perhaps a slight visionariness of speculation was no less the attribute of Mrs. Mill than an absence of rigid logical principles.
Talvez uma ligeira tendência visionária na especulação fosse tanto um atributo da Sra. Mill quanto uma ausência de princípios lógicos rígidos.
Be this as it may, she undoubtedly checked the half-recognised leanings of her husband in the direction of Coleridge and Carlyle.
Seja como for, ela indubitavelmente conteve as inclinações meio reconhecidas de seu marido na direção de Coleridge e Carlyle.
Whether this was an instance of her steadying influence,[5] or whether it added one more unassimilated element to Mill's diverse intellectual sustenance, may be wisely left an open question.
Se isso foi um exemplo de sua influência estabilizadora,[5] ou se acrescentou mais um elemento não assimilado ao diversificado sustento intelectual de Mill, pode ser sabiamente deixado como uma questão em aberto.
We cannot, however, be wrong in attributing to her the parentage of one book of Mill, _The Subjection of Women_.
Não podemos, no entanto, estar errados em atribuir a ela a paternidade de uma obra de Mill, _A Sujeição das Mulheres_.
