John Stuart Mill Biography
John Stuart Mill (1806 –- 1873), was a leading political philosopher of the Nineteenth Century. He held radical views for the time, advocating universal suffrage and equality for women. He was also a Utilitarian philosopher, a philosophy which seeks to maximise the greatest happiness for the greatest number. Mill refined the original Utilitarianism of Jeremy Bentham. J.S Mill is perhaps best remembered for his short exposition of the theory of individual liberty and the right to freedom of speech. In ‘On Liberty’ J.S. Mill argued that individual freedom could only be constrained by the state if his actions harmed the liberty of others.
