The Basic Writings of John Stuart Mill On

The writings of John Stuart Mill have become the cornerstone of political liberalism. Collected for the first time in this volume are Mill's three seminal and most widely read works:On Liberty, The Subjection of Women, and Utilitarianism. A brilliant defense of individual rights versus the power of the state,On Libertyis essential reading for anyone interested in political thought and theory. As Bertrand Russell reflected, "On Liberty remains a classic . . . the present world would be better than it is, if [Mill's] principles were more respected." This Modern Library Paperback Classics edition includes newly commissioned endnotes and commentary by Dale E. Miller, and an index.

J. B. Schneewind is a professor of philosophy at Johns Hopkins University. He is the author of Sidgwick’s Ethics and Victorian Moral Philosophy and The Invention of Autonomy.
