The Basic Writings of John Stuart Mill

The writings of John Stuart Mill have become the cornerstone of political liberalism. Collected for the first time in this volume are Mill&#146;s three seminal and most widely read works: <i>On Liberty The Subjection of Women and Utilitarianism</i>. A brilliant defense of individual rights versus the power of the state <i>On Liberty</i> is essential reading for anyone interested in political thought and theory. As Bertrand Russell reflected &#147;On Liberty remains a classic . . . the present world would be better than it is if [Mill&#146;s] principles were more respected.&#148;<br><br>This Modern Library Paperback Classics edition includes newly commissioned endnotes and commentary by Dale E. Miller and an index.
