John Stuart Mill's Essay On Liberty The renowned essay On Liberty was written by the English philosopher John Stuart Mill (1806-1873) and published in 1859, the year in which Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species was published. On Liberty contains a rational justification of the freedom of the individual in opposition to the claims of the state to impose unlimited control, and has become a classic of libertarian philosophy. In this essay Mill also warns of a second danger to liberty, which democracies are prone to, namely, the tyranny of the majority . In a representative democracy, if you can control the majority (and get them to vote for, and elect, your candidates) then you can control everyone (because your candidates, once "democratically elected", will pass whatever laws are needed for this, as was done by Hitler's agents in the 1930s in Nazi Germany and seems to be happening today in the U.S.A.). Here's what Mill writes in the Introduction to On Liberty about the tyranny of the majority: On Liberty

In all respects he proved an apt pupil, and by his 15th year had studied classical literature, logic, political economy, and mathematics. In that year he went to France, where he was under the charge of Sir S. Bentham, a brother of Jeremy. His studies had led him to the adoption of the utilitarian philosophy, and after his return he became acquainted with Grote, the Austins, and other Benthamites. Rationale of Judicial Evidence .

John Stuart Mill Sunday, December 9, 2007 John Stuart Mill First published Thu Jan 3, 2002; substantive revision Tue Jul 10, 2007 John Stuart Mill (1806-1873), British philosopher, economist, moral and political theorist, and administrator, was the most influential English-speaking philosopher of the nineteenth century. His views are of continuing significance, and are generally recognized to be among the deepest and certainly the most effective defenses of empiricism and of a liberal political view of society and culture. The overall aim of his philosophy is to develop a positive view of the universe and the place of humans in it, one which contributes to the progress of human knowledge, individual freedom and human well-being. His views are not entirely original, having their roots in the British empiricism of John Locke, George Berkeley and David Hume, and in the utilitarianism of Jeremy Bentham. But he gave them a new depth, and his formulations were sufficiently articulate to gain for them a continuing influence among a broad public. 1. Life

Philosophy of Sport John Stuart Mill and the Ends of Sport David T. Schwartz Randolph-Macon Woman's College dschwartz@rmwc.edu ABSTRACT: Utilitarianism between higher and lower pleasures offers a useful framework for thinking about contemporary sport. This first became apparent while teaching Utilitarianism Mill originally offered the distinction between higher and lower pleasures as a way of defending utilitarianism against critics who found it degrading. Because utilitarianism defines moral rightness solely as the net production of pleasure over pain, critics charged that it portrayed human happiness as no different from the contentment of well-fed barnyard animals. To these critics, any moral theory that cast human life as having no end higher than the pursuit of pleasure was surely "a doctrine worthy only of swine". Mill countered that it was actually the critics of utilitarianism who degraded humanity, for they tacitly assumed that humans were capable of nothing more than animalistic pleasures. Mill maintained happiness is indeed a function of pleasure, although humans are capable of higher forms of pleasure than the other animals. Mill writes Human beings have faculties more elevated than the animal appetites, and when once made conscious of them, do not regard anything as happiness which does not include their gratification.

Return to: Home Books Books Accidental hero David Marquand Published 06 December 2007 10 comments Print version Listen RSS For 150 years, John Stuart Mill has been the intellectual icon of the British left - but his ideas address few of the problems we face today. John Stuart Mill has been an iconic figure for British liberals and social democrats for more than 150 years. In his important new biography, Richard Reeves suggests that he has even more to say to the ideology-lite 21st century than he did during the great contest between capitalism and socialism that dominated most of the second half of the 20th, and there is something in it. Mill was one of the great masters whom Gordon Brown celebrated in his speech on British liberty a few weeks ago, and the literature on Mill continues to grow. In the past 25 years, we have had Alan Ryan on Mill, John Gray, John Skorupski, Bernard Semmel, Stefan Collini and Gertrude Himmelfarb, as well as a host of others. Part of the reason is that he was an extraordinarily nice, warm-hearted and intellectually generous man, as well as an extraordinarily gifted one. It is impossible to dislike him. His exemplary life - a paradigm of high Victorian earnestness at its best - still compels affection as well as admiration. His terrifying education, at the hands of a rigid and dogmatic father who seems to have had no sense of humour and no empathy for others, is legendary. He learned the Greek alphabet at three; read Plato (in Greek) at seven; learned Latin at eight; and read Aristotle on logic at 11. Also legendary is his depressive breakdown at 20, when he asked himself whether he would be happier if all the reforms he and his father believed in were achieved, and realised with horror that the answer was "no".

Career The dominant figure of mid-nineteenth-century British political economy, he was educated by his father James as an ardent Bentham ite utilitarian, but his mental crisis of 1826 induced serious modifications of his views. Saint-Simon, Comte and other writers can be counted as influences subsequent to this period, as can his friendship with his future wife, Harriet Taylor. His System of Logic established his reputation as a major thinker, and it is his philosophical and political writings, most notably On Liberty , that are the chief source of his continuing fame. However, the Principles Jevons felt it necessary to attack him in order to win a favourable hearing for marginal utility economics.

Utilitarianism Egoism Justice Rights Theory ... Ethics Updates ". . . dedicated to promoting the thoughtful discussion of difficult moral issues." Lawrence M. Hinman University of San Diego John Stuart Mill "Speech In Favor of Capital Punishment" About the Author: John Stuart Mill (1806-73) is one of the foremost representative of utilitarian thought as well as one of the most influential of nineteenth century liberals. Influenced by Harriet Taylor (his wife), Mill developed a very humane version of utilitarianism that was sympathetic to women's rights, labor unions, proportional representation, and other liberal themes. His major works include On Liberty Principles of Political Economy Utilitarianism (1863), and his Autobiography (1873).

53. John Stuart Mill, The Utility Of Religion john stuart mill. It has sometimes been remarked how much has been written, both by friends and enemies, concerning the truth of religion, and how little, http://www.la.utexas.edu/vmill/three/utilrelig.html

The Utility of Religion John Stuart Mill This essential portion of the inquiry into the temporal usefulness of religion, is the subject of the present Essay. It is a part which has been little treated of by sceptical writers. The only direct discussion of it with which I am acquainted, is in a short treatise , understood to have been partly compiled from manuscripts of Mr. Bentham, and abounding in just and profound views; but which, as it appears to me, presses many parts of the argument too hard. This treatise, and the incidental remarks scattered through the writings of M. Comte, are the only sources known to me from which anything very pertinent to the subject can be made available for the sceptical side of the argument. I shall use both of them freely in the sequel of the present discourse. The inquiry divides itself into two parts, corresponding to the double aspect of the subject; its social, and its individual aspect. What does religion do for society, and what for the individual? What amount of benefit to social interests, in the ordinary sense of the phrase, arises from. religious belief? And what influence has it in improving and ennobling individual human nature? The first question is interesting to everybody; the latter only to the best; but to them it is, if there be any difference, the more important of the two. We shall begin with the former, as being that which best admits of being easily brought to a precise issue.

University College London has an intimate connection with the English Utilitarians and Philosophic Radicals. Its foundation owed much to their efforts, and was greatly influenced by their educational philosophy. Moreover, John Stuart Mill himself attended UCL to hear the lectures of John Austin, the first Professor of Jurisprudence. It is, therefore, the most apposite venue for this Conference, which aims to reassess the life, thought and legacy of J. S. Mill and his relevance for the twenty-first century. It is difficult to exaggerate John Stuart Mill's significance and influence. He was not merely an astonishingly versatile thinker who made major contributions to many areas of philosophy. He was also a 'public moralist' and public intellectual

The Old Cause by Joseph R. Stromberg May 18, 2002 John Stuart Mill and Liberal Imperialism I n my last column, I told some of the story of Cold War liberalism. Today, I want to look at a similar phenomenon, one which might be considered a forerunner of Cold War liberalism. That phenomenon is liberal imperialism. The fact that there is such an historical category already suggests that "liberalism" was, from a very early time, a thing of sliding definitions and declensions. For my purposes, liberalism has to do with individual liberty, free markets, and free trade. If that makes it sound a lot like libertarianism, so be it. Others may deploy their own notions of what constitutes the essential liberal tradition. JOHN STUART MILL (1806-1873) J . S. Mill was born to English liberalism. His father James, was an ardent laissez faireist, wheel-horse of the "philsophical radicals," and a follower of the utilitarian philosophy of Jeremy Bentham, whom Edmund Burke, with sound instinct, detested. The young Mill started his study of ancient Greek at age three, but that was not the source of his problems. John Stuart worked many years as part of the bureaucracy governing India. He served in Parliament. His writings covered philosophy, political economy, politics, and whatever it came into his head to write on.

He was one of the first thinkers to argue that a social theory must engage with ideas of culture and the internal life. He used Wordsworth to inform his social theory, he was a proto feminist and his treatise On Liberty is one of the sacred texts of liberalism. J S Mill believed that action was the natural articulation of thought. He battled throughout his life for social reform and individual freedom and was hugely influential in the extension of the vote. Few modern discussions on race, birth control, the state and human rights have not been influenced by Mill's theories.
