“Essential Works of John Stuart Mill & On Liberty” is a pivotal collection of John Stuart Mill’s most influential writings. Mill, a 19th-century philosopher and political economist, is a cornerstone of liberal thought. His ideas on liberty, utilitarianism, and representative government shaped modern democratic ideals.

The collection includes “On Liberty,” Mill’s groundbreaking treatise on individual rights. It argues for the protection of individual liberty against societal tyranny. The essay emphasizes the importance of intellectual and physical self-expression, forming a robust defense of free speech.

Mill’s writings remain relevant in contemporary discussions on liberty, democracy, and morality. They are essential for anyone interested in political philosophy or the history of liberal thought. His prose, though complex, is clear and compelling, inviting readers to grapple with the implications of his philosophy.
