Bücher von John Stuart Mill

"On Liberty and Other Essays" brings together the most important works of philosopher and political economist John Stuart Mill. In "On Liberty" Mill eloquently ponders the question of where the line should be drawn between the freedom of individuals and the authority of the state. As he puts it, "The struggle between liberty and authority is the most conspicuous feature in the portions of history with which we are earliest familiar..." Second in this volume, "Utilitarianism" is the classic exposition of the Utilitarian philosophy, the basic principle of which is that one's actions should be guided towards outcomes that create the greatest good for the greatest numbers of people. In "Considerations on Representative Government," Mill makes his arguments for the representative form of government as the ideal one. Lastly, "The Subjection of Women" is an essay co-written with his wife, Harriet Taylor Mill, arguing in favor of equality between the sexes. Arguably one of the most important political thinkers of the modern era, John Stuart's Mill's influence on Western civilization cannot be overstated. This representative selection collects together the principal works from which that reputation is garnered. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper and includes an introduction by A. D. Lindsay.

The subject of this Essay is not the so-called Liberty of the Will, so unfortunately opposed to the misnamed doctrine of Philosophical Necessity; but Civil, or Social Liberty: the nature and limits of the power which can be legitimately exercised by society over the individual. (...) The only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilised community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others.In this famous essay, John Stuart Mill questions liberty of thought, individualism and the limits to the authority of society over the individual. The text is here followed by "Utilitarianism", a treatise in which he defines the main lines of this moral and political theory based on the greatest happiness of the greatest number.This Large Print edition comes with a beautiful and Easy to Read Layout to make reading confortable.

Le grand principe, le principe dominant auquel aboutissent tous les arguments exposés dans ces pages, est l'importance essentielle et absolue du développement humain dans sa plus riche diversité. (Wilhelm von Humboldt : De la sphère et des devoirs du gouvernement.)Je dédie ce volume à la mémoire chérie et pleurée de celle qui fut l'inspiratrice, et en partie l'auteur, de ce qu'il y a de mieux dans mes ouvrages : à la mémoire de l'amie et de l'épouse, dont le sens exalté du vrai et du juste fut mon plus vif encouragement, et dont l'approbation fut ma principale récompense.Comme tout ce que j'ai écrit depuis bien des années, c'est autant son ¿uvre que la mienne ; mais le livre, tel qu'il est, n'a eu qu'à un degré très-insuffisant l'inestimable avantage d'être revu par elle, quelques-unes des parties les plus importantes ayant été réservées pour un second et plus soigneux examen, qu'elles sont destinées maintenant à ne jamais recevoir. Si j'étais capable d'interpréter la moitié seulement des grandes pensées, des nobles sentiments qui sont ensevelis avec elle, le monde en recueillerait plus de fruit que de tout ce que je puis écrire, sans l'inspiration et l'assistance de sa sagesse presque sans rivale.
