On Liberty by John Stuart Mill

On Liberty by John Stuart Mill

Explores the risks and responsibilities of liberty. Examining the tyranny that can come both from government and from the herd-like opinion of the majority, this title proposes a freedom to think, unite, and pursue our pleasures as the most important freedoms, as long as we cause no harm to others.

John Stuart Mill was born in London in 1806. He became a leading philosophical radical, active as a propagandist in their intellectual and reforming pursuits. In 1826, he began to rethink his stance and examine alternative positions offered by Coleridge and Carlyle. His major works include ON LIBERTY, UTILITARIANISM and THE SUBJUGATION OF WOMEN
