    INTP

    INTP (5w6)

    William Godwin personality type is INTP, which is similar to me. I guess that's why I'm drawn to his books. I find that Godwin has a lot of things which I'd like to read about: what would a true anarchist say about anarchism? what does a dictator say about dictatorship? how does a person go about deciding what to do with their life? what are the steps in that decision? how does one actually live a good life? I want to know the answers to these questions. And, for me, Godwin has some interesting thoughts on personal and political ethics.

    The problem is that Godwin's writing is so much more than just that. He has a great sense of humor, he's very optimistic, he explains all his ideas clearly, he's funny and lively and enthusiastic, and he still manages to be clear and to make his points. He's like a conductor (or better - like a jazz musician) who can play equally well at all the instruments.

    I feel like I could read his books on any subject and learn something.

    William Godwin (3 March 1756 – 7 April 1836) was an English journalist, political philosopher and novelist. He is considered one of the first exponents of utilitarianism and the first modern proponent of anarchism.
