Autorenporträt
John Stuart Mill, born on May 20, 1806, in London, England, remains a pivotal figure in the pantheon of liberal political philosophy. His erudition was cultivated by an intensive education directed by his father, historian and economist James Mill, which resulted in one of the most extensive intellectual foundations of the 19th century. Best known for his seminal work, 'On Liberty - The Philosophy of Individual Freedom', Mill delves into the tenets of utilitarianism, a doctrine he championed and refined along with his predecessor, Jeremy Bentham. 'On Liberty' (1859) is treasured for its defense of individual autonomy against the tyranny of the majority, and its influence on the development of civil liberties and social freedoms is indisputable. His literary corpus spans across varied subjects including, but not limited to, economics, social and political theory, and logic, exemplified in major works such as 'A System of Logic' (1843), and 'The Subjection of Women' (1869). Oftentimes, his writings reveal an empathetic recognition of the complexity of human character and the importance of nurturing diversity in society. The intellectual rigor and progressive thought embedded in Mill's ideas such as personal liberty, moral and economic freedom, equality for women, and advocacy for a representative government, continue to shape contemporary discourse. His death on May 8, 1873, in Avignon, France, marked the loss of a luminary, but his legacy endures through the timelessness and humanity of his philosophies.
