A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF JOHN STUART MILL AND MUHAMMAD IQBAL
Abstract
John Stuart Mill and Muhammad Iqbal are representatives of
different socio-cultural norms and traditions. Being an empiricist, Mill’s
evaluation of social and cultural issues is different from Iqbal. Iqbal tries to
understand and elaborate socio-moral issues in his religious perspective.
Both of them acknowledge that women are having equal moral and human
status in society, but Mill demands perfect equality in each and every
domain of personal and public life of humans but Iqbal reduces the solution
of inequality issue in the division of biologically assigned responsibilities
and duties. Mill, as a liberal feminist, tries hard but remains failed in the
implementation of principle of perfect equality between genders. Iqbal, who
is against equality’s debate, takes help from religion to answer the women’s
status question.
