This expanded edition of John Stuart Mill's Utilitarianism includes the text of his 1868 speech to the British House of Commons defending the use of capital punishment in cases of aggravated murder. The speech is significant both because its topic remains timely and because its arguments illustrate the applicability of the principle of utility to questions of large-scale social policy.

Mill's thinking about freedom in civic and social life examines fundamental principles shared among conservative, liberal, and radical politicians. The life of true philosophy stands outside the political battles that are rampant in society and seeks the political wisdom that is necessary for a good life in any age. Mill's philosophical presentation and analysis of those principles stand alongside the reflections of Plato, Aristotle, Marcus Aurelius, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau.

A celebration of individuality, diversity, and nonconformity, On Liberty still makes a persuasive argument for what John Stuart Mill believed to be humankind’s essential liberties: the freedoms of speech, assembly, and the pursuit of pleasure, so long as one’s actions do not impede the liberty of another. These freedoms, he maintained, result in a far more successful society than one ruled by the tyranny of the majority. This treatise on personal liberty has inspired debate since its publication in 1859, and has provided the foundation for modern liberal political thought.

Publicado en 1869, La esclavitud femenina abordó con valentía el problema de la desigualdad entre los sexos, definiéndolo como «uno de los principales obstáculos para el progreso de la humanidad». En opinión de John Stuart Mill, que publicó este tratado cuando las mujeres de su país no podían votar ni disponer de bienes, alcanzar una «igualdad perfecta» en materia legal y social era indispensable para una sociedad más justa, y no cabe duda de que su libro contribuyó a crearla al desmontar con implacable lógica el endeble argumentario de quienes favorecían la opresión histórica de la mujer.

The Subjection of Women is the title of an essay written by John Stuart Mill in 1869, possibly jointly with his wife Harriet Taylor Mill, stating an argument in favor of equality between the sexes. It offers both detailed argumentation and passionate eloquence in opposition to the social and legal inequalities commonly imposed upon women by a patriarchal culture.

"On Liberty," a seminal work by philosopher John Stuart Mill. Mill felt there were no definite standards for defining what society has standing to regulate and punish, and what is solely the business of individual to choose for themselves, if they accept the consequences to themselves. It is a discussion that needs to be remembered, and it is a discussion that needs to be revived in the modern world. Liberty still matters.

In 'La libertà', uno dei saggi di filosofia politica più influenti della storia moderna, John Stuart Mill si interroga sul concetto di libertà e le sue forme. Cos'è la libertà? Cosa deve fare lo stato per garantirla? Cosa, invece, devono fare gli individui per assicurarsela, per sé e per gli altri? Delineando i limiti di ciò che può essere definito "libertà", Mill emerge come appassionato sostenitore della diversità e antagonista dell'univocità.

The Subjection of Women is an 1869 essay by the English philosopher and political economist John Stuart Mill, based on ideas he developed jointly with his wife Harriet Taylor Mill. At the time of its publication, the essay's argument for equality between the sexes was an affront to conventional norms regarding the status of men and women. Mill contended that the emancipation and education of women would have positive benefits for all people; the companionship of equally educated persons would result in the greater intellectual development of all.

An influential contributor to social theory, political theory, and political economy, his conception of liberty justified the freedom of the individual in opposition to unlimited state control. He was a proponent of utilitarianism, an ethical theory developed by Jeremy Bentham, although his conception of it was very different from Bentham's. Hoping to remedy the problems found in an inductive approach to science, such as confirmation bias, he clearly set forth the premises of falsification as the key component in the scientific method.

As one of the most prominent thinkers in the history of classical liberalism, he contributed extensively to social and political theory, and political economy.

He discusses the attitude toward property of the poorer classes of society, and contends that socio-economic matters pertinent to society ought to be examined anew by every successive generation. Mills also provides an in-depth review of the various Utopian Socialists of the nineteenth century.

In On Nature, Mill discusses the very essence of human nature, philosophy, thought, and deconstructs the nature of our very belief systems and organised religions as a whole.
