In his wonderfully clear and cogent essay On Liberty, Mill contends
that individuals should be as free as possible from interference by
government. Proposing that individual fulfilment is the surest
route to collective happiness, he argues passionately against the
"tyranny of the majority," and sets out to create an alternative
view of a practical politics that sets proper limits on the powers
of government and society. The result, Mill argues, will be not
only greater freedom, but also improved social progress. He reached
these conclusions by re-interpreting a large body of existing
political and philosophical thought - introducing insights drawn
from several different schools of thought, and thereby creating an
unparalleled defense of classic liberal principals. Much of the
clarity of thought that Mill has become celebrated for is the
product of his ability to explain meaning, define terms, and
highlight problems and issues of definition - making him an
exemplar of high quality interpretive thinking.
