John Stuart Mill expressed many of the central tenets of liberalism
with unsurpassed clarity and enduring influence. Yet Mill's
apparent victory in the marketplace of ideas has numbed us to the
power of his arguments. To many readers today, his views can seem
utterly familiar, even banal. Sharing insights from teaching Mill
for many years, the eminent philosopher Philip Kitcher makes a
cogent case for why we should read this nineteenth-century thinker
now. He portrays Mill as a conflicted humanist who wrestled with
problems that are equally urgent in our own time. Kitcher reflects
on Mill's ideas in the context of contemporary ethical, social, and
political issues such as COVID mandates, gun control, income
inequality, gay rights, and climate change. More broadly, he shows,
Mill's writings help us cultivate our own capacities for critical
thought and ethical decision making. Inviting readers into a
conversation with Mill, this book shows that he supplies tools for
thinking that are as valuable today as they were in the nineteenth
century.
