John Stuart Mill is one of the greatest thinkers of the nineteenth
century. But does he have anything to teach us today? His deep
concern for freedom of the individual is thought by some to be
outdated and inadequate to the cultural and religious complexities
of twenty first century life. In this succinct and shrewd book,
John Skorupski argues that Mill is a profound and inspiring social
and political thinker from whom we still have much to learn. He
reflects on Mill's central arguments in his most famous works,
including "Utilitarianism" and "On Liberty", and traces their
implications for democratic politics. With the use of topical and
controversial examples, including privacy, religious intolerance,
and freedom of speech, he makes Mill's concerns our own at a time
when what liberalism means, and why it matters, is once again in
dispute. He concludes that Mill's place in the pantheon of 'great
thinkers' rests not only on his specific political and social
doctrines, but above all on his steadfastly generous and liberal
vision of human beings, their relations to one another, and what
makes life worth living.
