The ideas presented in On Liberty have remained the basis of much political thought. ![]() Some classical liberals and libertarians have criticized it for its apparent discontinuity with Utilitarianism, and vagueness in defining the arena within which individuals can contest government infringements on their personal freedom of action. On Liberty was a greatly influential and well-received work. Among the standards proposed are Mill's three basic liberties of individuals, his three legitimate objections to government intervention, and his two maxims regarding the relationship of the individual to society. Furthermore, Mill asserts that democratic ideals may result in the tyranny of the majority. He emphasizes the importance of individuality, which he considers prerequisite to the higher pleasures-the summum bonum of utilitarianism. Mill suggests standards for the relationship between authority and liberty. Published in 1859, it applies Mill's ethical system of utilitarianism to society and state. On Liberty is an essay by the English philosopher John Stuart Mill. ![]() |
