	Godwin's Law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Godwin's Law (also Godwin's Rule of Nazi Analogies) is a mainstay of Internet culture, an adage formulated by Mike Godwin in 1990.
		Godwin's Law does not dispute whether, in a particular instance, a reference or comparison to Hitler or the Nazis might be apt.
		It is precisely because such a reference or comparison may sometimes be appropriate, Godwin argues in his book, Cyber Rights: Defending Free Speech in the Digital Age, that hyperbolic overuse of the Hitler/Nazi comparison should be avoided, as it robs the valid comparisons of their impact.

	William Godwin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Godwin augmented the influence of the Political Justice with his publication of an equally popular novel, Things as They Are or the Adventures of Caleb Williams, which tells the story of a servant who finds out a dark secret about Falkland, his aristocratic master and is forced to flee because of his knowledge.
		Godwin did not believe that all coercion and violence was immoral per se, as Bakunin and Tolstoy did, but rather recognised the need for government in the short term and hoped that the time would come when it would be unnecessary.
		Godwin supports individual ownership of property, defining it as "the empire to which every man is entitled over the produce of his own industry." However, he does advocate that individuals give to each other their surplus property on the occasion that others have a need for it, without involving trade (see gift economy).

	William Godwin (1756-1836): The Apostle of "Universal Benevolence."
		Godwin's reputation as a radical thinker and writer was to attract a number of people to his side, though there were others who shunned his acquaintance, and some were naturally, or became ultimately, his enemies.
		Godwin's system the 'omnipotence of reason' supersedes the use of law and government, merges the imperfection of the means in the grandeur of the end, and leaves but one class of ideas or motives, the highest and the least attainable possible.
		Godwin, it seems, ill-treated his children: "The worst feature of his character was his implacability towards his children, whom he hated, alleging that they were not his own."19 In 1814, the 17 year old Mary Wollstonecraft-Godwin accompanied the 26 year old Shelley to France; her half-sister, Jane Clairmont went along so to form a threesome.

	William Hazlitt's Essay from The Spirit of the Age, "On William Godwin" (1825).
		Godwin is a mixture of the Stoic and of the Christian philosopher.
		Godwin's descriptions that the reader identifies himself with the author; and the secret of this is, that the author has identified himself with his personages.
		Godwin, in all his writings, dwells upon one idea or exclusive view of a subject, aggrandises a sentiment, exaggerates a character, or pushes an argument to extremes, and makes up by the force of style and continuity of feeling for what he wants in variety of incident or ease of manner.

	William Godwin
		Godwin was born on 3 March 1756 at Wisbeach, Cambridgeshire, the seventh of thirteen children of John Godwin (1723-1772) a dissenting minister, and his wife Anne (c1723-1809), the daughter of Richard Hull, a ship-owner engaged in the Baltic trade.
		Godwin begins by defending the importance of political inquiry and refuting claims that moral and political phenomena are a function of climate, national character or luxury.
		Indeed, Godwin's account of pleasure, in terms of the development of intellect and the exercise of its powers, means that the position looks as much like perfectionism as it does a form of hedonistic utilitarianism (what is valued is the ideal as much as the pleasures which are integral to it).

	William Godwin, 1756-1836
		The father of philosophical anarchism, William Godwin, was born March 3, 1756 in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, and was the seventh of thirteen children of John Godwin and Anna Hull.
		Although Godwin perhaps never abandoned his basic contention that man ought to be guided by the laws of truth, benevolence, candor and justice, his experiences during the mid-1790s caused a shift of emphasis away from the cold rationalism of Political Justice, an emphasis reflected in subsequent revisions in 1796 and 1798.
		Godwin allowed the continued temporary existence of government because of the persistence of inadequate reasoning and strong vices; since reform came slowly in society, government could restrain those who harmed the well-being of others.

	William Godwin - Encyclopædia Britannica
		GODWIN, WILLIAM - (1756—1836), English political and miscellaneous writer, son of a Nonconformist minister, was born on the 3rd of March 1756, at Wisbeach in Cambridgeshire.
		Godwin himself in after days modified his communistic views, but his strong feeling for individualism, his hatred of all restrictions on liberty, his trust in man, his faith in the power of reason remained; it was a manifesto which enunciated principles modifying action, even when not wholly ruling it.
		The second Mrs Godwin was energetic and painstaking, but a harsh stepmother; and it may be doubted whether the children were not worse off under her care than they would have been under Godwin’s neglect.

	Frank Godwin Biography
		Born in Washington DC in 1889, Godwin was the son of the city editor of The Washington Star.
		Done primarily with a brush, and with 40 years of experience behind him, Godwin's art overcame the tepid scripts he was given and populated the space with lush foliage, recognizable characters, realistic animals and a strong sense of place and time.
		Godwin's place in illustration is well secured, but his place as one of the premier penmen of the century has yet to be declared.

	Earl Godwin
		Godwin hoped that his daughter would have a son but Edward had taken a vow of celibacy and it soon became clear that the couple would not produce an heir to the throne.
		This upset the Anglo-Saxons and when Godwin and a large army commandeered by his sons, Harold and Tostig, landed in the south of England in 1052, Edward was unable to raise significant forces to stop the invasion.
		Godwin died at Winchester on 14th April, 1053 and his place as the leading Anglo-Saxon in England was taken by his son Harold.

	William Godwin and informal education
		Godwin placed education at the centre of his thinking - it was the main means by which change would be achieved.
		While Godwin drew much from Rousseau he parted company over the latter’s sleight of hand wherein teachers appear to be allowing children to do as they please but in reality are really in control - a disguised form of coercion (Smith 1983: 8).
		Godwin’s educational thinking made some impact upon thinkers like Robert Owen - but it does not appear to have been a significant reference point for those seeking to develop more libertarian forms of education in the later part of the nineteenth century.

		Godwin's writing reveals expertise in an unusually wide range of disciplines (history, religion, faith-healing, psychology, economics, sociology, medicine, criminology, law, agriculture, literature) which accounts for the multifaceted nature of his books.
		Godwin laid much of the blame for his ruin at the feet of government mismanagement and crooked elements in big business e.g.
		This writer knows little of Godwin from this point on, except that he was called to the bar in the early 1920's and practiced law on and off throughout his life.

	BookPage Interview February 2001: Gail Godwin
		Although Godwin has a strong background in journalism -- she once worked as a reporter for The Miami Herald -- the shift from fiction to nonfiction with Heart was not without its challenges.
		Godwin's voice in the book is poetic and lucid as she recounts some of the greatest heart moments in history -- the creation of the stethoscope; the first valentine; how the heart symbol got its shape.
		Godwin experienced this connection firsthand during the writing of Heart, when she discussed the narrative with friends, some of whom freely gave her suggestions for the book.

		Though Graham's choice of the self-confessedly protean Godwin as an example of 'constancy' in a 'changing world' is open to question, this is a useful collection of secondary materials that would be hard to find, and even harder to bring together, outside a copyright library.
		In these years Godwin published, to largely benign reception, a prospectus for an imaginary school, two political pamphlets, a collection of literary parodies, three novels, a volume of sermons, and a history of the Dutch Patriot Revolution.
		For example, the policy of omitting extended quotations of Godwin's writings from all of the reviews is understandable, given space constraints, but the decision to give generalized summaries of the missing passages, rather than appropriate page references, leaves the reader very unsure as to what is being cited.

	How to post about Nazis and get away with it - the Godwin's Law FAQ (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Known as Godwin's Law, this rule of Usenet has a long and sordid history on the network - and is absolutely wrong.
		Godwin's Law is a natural law of Usenet named after Mike Godwin (godwin@eff.org) concerning Usenet "discussions".
		Not only is it wrong to say that a thread is over when Godwin's Law is invoked anyway (Usenet threads virtually always outlive their usefulness), but long ago a corollary to the Law was proposed and accepted by Taki "Quirk" Kogama (quirk@swcp.com): Quirk's Exception: Intentional invocation of this so-called "Nazi Clause" is ineffectual.

		Dans le folklore Usenet, on considère que vérifier la loi de Godwin revient à « perdre » le débat, peut-être parce qu'un troll s'en est mêlé.
		Aujourd'hui, c'est l'idéal de non-discrimination qui triomphe en France, les « banlieues » comme concept de Godwin tendent à s'imposer dans les forums surchauffés.

	Parke Godwin, Omnibus Review
		Because reading Godwin is like sitting down over dinner with a celebrity and getting the real story, when all you've known about the person has been what you've gleaned from gossip columns and tabloids.
		Godwin took a break from historical fantasy in the late 80's to explore more fully some of the themes that run through all of his work, namely God (or "that pregnant silence where we think He hides"), religion, and faith.
		Parke Godwin was a professional actor before he became a writer, and his writing reflects that theatrical background.

		These two texts positioned Godwin at the center of the debates defining British political and cultural life in the decade following the French Revolution, and were crucial to the development of the radical critique of state authority in that period.
		By the end of the eighteenth century, however, the radical milieu with which Godwin was associated was disintegrating under the pressure of repressive legislation and emerging cultural nationalism occasioned by the rise of Napoleon and military conflict between England and France.
		Godwin was born in 1756 into a family of dissenting ministers.

		Although Godwin shows a couple of Pelagian Christians, he fails to deal with the question of Celtic Christianity which was spreading from the North and which would have been more prevalent in the Pictish domains Patrick spends time in.
		Godwin does a great job of showing the flexibility of the Roman Church during this period.
		Godwin even goes so far to mention that one character is an ancestor of Guinevere's in a passage which seems out of place in the narrative of Saint Patrick.

	Parke Godwin: Lord of Sunset
		Godwin has now turned his attention to a slightly earlier period and has presented the world with the biography-cum-lovestory of Harold Godwineson and Edith Svannehals.
		The language Godwin's characters employ to tell their stories tends to be very fancy and stilted, often giving the feel that Godwin is putting style before substance.
		Nevertheless, this attention to vocabulary and courtly phrasing, while seemingly a little anachronistic, serves as a reminder that all the characters Godwin presents are at the highest level of Anglo-Saxon culture, as opposed to Godwin's Robin of Denby who exists in a less rarified strata of society.
