Publisher's Synopsis
On Liberty is a philosophical treatise written by John Stuart Mill, one of the most influential thinkers of the 19th century. The book is an exploration of the nature and limits of individual freedom, and argues that society should allow individuals to pursue their own interests and desires without interference, as long as they do not harm others. Mill argues that freedom of thought and expression are essential to human progress, and that society should not censor or suppress ideas, even those that are unpopular or controversial. The book also addresses issues of political and economic freedom, arguing that individuals should have the right to participate in government and to pursue their own economic interests without undue interference. On Liberty is considered a classic work of political philosophy, and continues to be widely read and debated today.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1880 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
