Many discussions of J. S. Mill's concept of liberty focus too
narrowly on On Liberty and fail to acknowledge that his treatment
of related issues elsewhere may modify its leading doctrines. Mill
and Paternalism demonstrates how a contextual reading suggests that
in Principles of Political Economy, and also his writings on
Ireland, India and on domestic issues like land reform, Mill
proposed a substantially more interventionist account of the state
than On Liberty seems to imply. This helps to explain Mill's
sympathies for socialism after 1848, as well as his Malthusianism
and feminism, which, in conjunction with Harriet Taylor's views,
are central to his later discussions of the family and marriage.
Feminism, indeed, is shown to provide the answer to the problem
which most agitated Mill, overpopulation. Thus Gregory Claeys sheds
new lights on many of Mill's overarching preoccupations, including
the theory of liberty at the heart of On Liberty.
