What Our Customers Say...
Description
An Important Work, Early Edition, Publishers' Original Binding
A very influential and important philosophical essay by John Stuart Mill. Mill explores the concept of liberty by applying his ethical system of utilitarianism to society and state, and suggesting the standard relationship between authority and liberty.
The second edition of the Social Theory series; the 1865 people's edition. In the original publisher's cloth binding.
Mill believed individuality to be an important factor in the pursuit of higher pleasures, - the Summum Bonum.
Here he proposes his three basic liberties of individuals, three legitimate objections to government intervention, and two maxims regarding the relationship of the individual to society.
