John Stuart Mill

This is the second volume, following the well-received edition of Mill’s writing essential to understanding the liberal tradition. His commentary on a full spectrum of issues gives further insight into the strengths and vulnerabilities of liberal democratic theory in practice. Rare and difficult to locate material is here brought to attention and made available. The contribution of Mill’s most authoritative biographer, Nicholas Capaldi, is a singular and unmatched highlight. The tenor of St. Augustine’s Press volumed on Mill is distinct in its intention to place his work in the framework of political philosophy and the conversation of the viability of liberalism as a tradition of thought.

The 19th century's "most significant philosophical articulation of a liberal humanistic morality" is regarded as John Stuart Mill's Utilitarianism. The essay initially appeared as a collection of pieces in Fraser's Magazine in 1861. In 1863, the essays were gathered into a book. Mill held that the only thing that people do and should seek for their own sake is happiness (or pleasure, which Bentham and Mill both identified with happiness). The book consists of five chapters. 1) Chapter 1: According to Mill, little much has changed in ethics since the beginning of philosophy. Since they are the basis of all else, according to Mill, initial principles and ultimate purposes cannot be proven. 2) Chapter 2: According to Mill, utilitarianism is a philosophy solely suitable for pigs. According to Mill, pursuing long-term enjoyment logically necessitates the growth of higher faculties. 3) Chapter 3: He contends that it goes against this ingrained natural urge to prioritize selfish aims over the welfare of the community. 4) Chapter 4: Mill's well-known attempt to prove the greatest-happiness principle. 5) Chapter 5: According to Mill, the urge to exact revenge for harm and the innate need to feel compassion for people who have been wrongfully wounded are the origins of emotions of justice.

"Toisen sukupuolen laillisen alistamisen toisen alaiseksi pitäisi väistyä täydellisen yhdenvertaisuuden aatteen tieltä." Näin valikoiden lainaten voi tiivistää kirjan ytimen. Mutta tämä alun perin 1869 ilmestynyt ja monin tavoin aikaansa edellä ollut teos on yhtaikaa rikas punninta aiheestaan ja väkevä puheenvuoro miesten ylivallan vääryyden ja vahingollisuuden lakkauttamiseksi. Aikoinaan sen yhtenä päätarkoituksena oli jouduttaa äänioikeuden ulottamista naisille. Ensimmäistä kertaa 1910 suomeksi julkaistu kirja saa nyt uuden tulemisensa kaksikielisenä laitoksena. Mukana on (1980-luvulla tarkistetun) käännöksen lisäksi edelleen tutkijoiden käsissä kuluva alkuteksti, modernin filosofian klassikko.

John Stuart Mill's On Liberty was published in 1859 and introduced one of the most powerful defenses of individual freedom in nineteenth-century social and political philosophy. Mill has mentioned his opinions On Liberty to be about, the importance, to humans and society, to various types of character, and of giving full opportunity to human nature to grow itself in endless and clashing directions. He thinks liberty is the ability to improve and to stay away from social gatherings. Mill's passionate encouragement of spontaneity, uniqueness, and diversity, alongside his disrespect for compulsory consistency and the tyranny of well-known opinion, has attracted respect for and judgment of the book.
