Description

This Routledge Philosophy GuideBook introduces John Stuart Mill and one of his major works, On Liberty. We see that in On Liberty Mill outlines the importance of moral rights, respect for rule of law, and individuality.

Written with students in mind, Jonathan Riley gracefully eases the reader into Mill's work, life, and philosophy. An ideal read for those coming to Mill for the first time, and for anyone with an interest in political philosophy.

Reviews

'it remains the merit of Riley's well-crafted and careful introduction to Mill's On Liberty that his book will be of interest beyond the confines of first-time students. This is an important and interesting book and I am looking forward to the companion volume in which Riley will take further the interpretation offered here.' - History of Political Thought XX No.4 1999
