John Stuart Mill & John Stuart Mill 
On Liberty (Centaur Classics) [EPUB ebook] 

Published in 1859, John Stuart Mill’s ‘On Liberty’ presented one of the most eloquent defenses of individual freedom in nineteenth-century social and political philosophy and is today perhaps the most widely-read liberal argument in support of the value of liberty. Mill s passionate advocacy of spontaneity, individuality, and diversity, along with his contempt for compulsory uniformity and the despotism of popular opinion, has attracted both admiration and condemnation.
