The Basic Writings of John Stuart Mill

<p>The writings of John Stuart Mill have become the cornerstone of political liberalism. Collected for the first time in this volume are Mill's three seminal and most widely read works: <em>On Liberty, The Subjection of Women, and Utilitarianism</em>. A brilliant defense of individual rights versus the power of the state, <em>On Liberty</em> is essential reading for anyone interested in political thought and theory. As Bertrand Russell reflected, "On Liberty remains a classic . . . the present world would be better than it is, if [Mill's] principles were more respected."<br /><br />This Modern Library Paperback Classics edition includes newly commissioned endnotes and commentary by Dale E. Miller, and an index.</p>
