Sull'autore

John Stuart Mill was a prominent British philosopher and political economist, known for his contributions to liberal thought and social theory. Born in 1806, he was a child prodigy, heavily influenced by his father, James Mill, who was a close associate of the utilitarian philosopher Jeremy Bentham. Mill’s works emphasized individual liberty, free speech, and the importance of personal choice in both social and economic contexts. He is best remembered for his book "On Liberty," which argues for the protection of individual rights against the tyranny of the majority.

In addition to his philosophical writings, Mill made significant contributions to economics and social reform. His ideas on utilitarianism, feminism, and social justice were progressive for his time, advocating for women's rights and suffrage. Mill's influence extended beyond his lifetime, shaping modern liberal thought and inspiring generations of activists and philosophers. His dedication to rational discourse and ethical governance continues to resonate in contemporary discussions about personal freedom and social responsibility.
