"Of Population" by William Godwin is a critical response to Thomas Malthus's essay on population growth. Godwin argues against Malthus's assertion that population will inevitably outstrip food supply, advocating for the potential of human reason, social structures, and moral progress to manage population growth responsibly. He emphasizes the importance of education and cooperation in promoting a sustainable society, suggesting that human beings can control their reproductive habits through conscious effort and social reform. Godwin's work embodies Enlightenment ideals, emphasizing human agency and the potential for societal improvement. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
