About this product

Product Information

Together these two essays mark the philosophic cornerstone of democratic morality and represent a thought-provoking search for the true balance between the rights of the individual and the power of the state. Thoroughly schooled in the principles of the utilitarian movement founded by Jeremy Bentham, John Stuart Mill nevertheless brings his own unique intellectual energy to issues such as individual freedom, equality, authority, happiness, justice, and virtue. On Liberty is Mill's famous examination of the nature of individuality and its crucial role in any social system that expects to remain creative and vital. Utilitarianism brilliantly expounds a pragmatic ethic based on one controversial proposition: actions are right only if they promote the common good and wrong if they do not. While much of Mill's thinking was eventually adopted by socialists, it is in today's democratic societies--with their troubling issues of crime, freedom of speech, and the boundaries of personal liberty--that his work resounds most powerfully.

  • Everyone should read

    This is perhaps the cheapest publication of John Stuarts Mill giant work of brilliant greatest wisdom in the organization of society along civilized concepts of well thought out principle. The actual material is in the public domain of course and is widely distributed by email download or via public domain librivox.org mp3 offerings. Its nice to own a copy though, and if you cannot afford to get a leather bound Easton Press rendition (this is one book thats worth getting in leather bound version), then perhaps this bantam edition will do, mine cost me $6 US years ago. This is in my view the greatest piece of literature ever written by man.

  • Excellent book. JS Mill rules.

    What.s not to like about this guy. Most intelligent philosopher I've ever encountered. Love his stuff.
