Over himself, over his own body and mind, the individual is sovereign. In 1859, a British philosopher, John Stuart Mill, stunned Victorian Britain with his treatise regarding an individuals’ moral and economic freedom from the state. His work, On Liberty, has subsequently become an important and influential work for how we perceive our personal relationship with society today. Mill’s style is both intelligent and wise and to this day, a copy of On Liberty has been passed to the president of the British Liberals, and then Liberal Democrats, as a symbol of office and succession from the party that Mill helped found. With its core message as relevant now as it was back in 1859, On Liberty is a must read for anyone interested in philosophy, sociology or politics. In this newly typeset edition, never before has Mill’s work been so lucid.
