William Godwin was born on 3rd March 1756 in Cambridgeshire, England. He was a social philosopher, political journalist and novelist. His most famous work, "An Inquiry Concerning Political Justice" appeared in 1793. Political justice proposes that there should be no limits on the freedom of thought and expression of individuals. His beliefs are that crime and moral failing derive from poor thinking and reasoning. He believes that the individual and society at large and eventually the institutions of government would become redundant. Godwin states that the promise as a concept is morally unsustainable. He anticipated the English romantic literary movement with his writings advanced atheism, anarchism and personal freedom.
