John Stuart Mill

El presente ensayo de John Stuart Mill (1806-1873) pertenece a la breve galer a de obras de combate pol tico que, aun d cadas o siglos despu s de ser escritas, siguen determinando los comportamientos de los hombres. John Stuart Mill marc de forma decisiva el pensamiento democr tico liberal. Sobre la libertad fue b sicamente concebido como una protesta contra el moralismo coercitivo que imperaba en la Inglaterra victoriana. Mill trat de defender una concepci n de la vida pol tica caracterizada por la libertad individual, un gobierno m s responsable y una administraci n eficiente, libre de pr cticas corruptas. En las nuevas tendencias democr ticas propias de la sociedad del siglo XIX Mill ve a numerosos peligros. Tem a, como Tocqueville, la tiran a de las mayor as. Su temor se dirig a no tanto al uso coercitivo del aparato estatal, sino m s bien a la correcci n de la opini n p blica que, dominada por el perjuicio y la costumbre, pod a ser claramente intolerante con las actitudes o comportamientos de car cter disidente, exc ntrico o simplemente diferente.

John Stuart Mill (20 May 1806 - 8 May 1873) was an English philosopher, political economist and civil servant. One of the most influential thinkers in the history of liberalism, he contributed widely to social theory, political theory and political economy. Dubbed "the most influential English-speaking philosopher of the nineteenth century", Mill's conception of liberty justified the freedom of the individual in opposition to unlimited state and social control. Mill was a proponent of utilitarianism, an ethical theory developed by his predecessor Jeremy Bentham, and contributed significantly to the theory of the scientific method.

Of these Essays, which were written in 1829 and 1830, the fifth alone has been previously printed. The other four have hitherto remained in manuscript, because, during the temporary suspension of public interest in the species of discussion to which they belong, there was no inducement to their publication. They are now published (with a few merely verbal alterations) under the impression, that the controversies excited by Colonel Torrens' Budget have again called the attention of political economists to the discussions of the abstract science: and from the additional consideration, that the first paper relates expressly to the point upon which the question at issue between Colonel Torrens and his antagonists has principally turned. From that paper it will be seen that opinions identical in principle with those promulgated by Colonel Torrens (there would probably be considerable difference as to the extent of their practical application) have been held by the writer for more than fifteen years: although he cannot claim to himself the original conception, but only the elaboration, of the fundamental doctrine of the Essay.

Le principe de l'utilit consiste mesurer l'estime que nous faisons des choses ou des actions sur le degr d'importance de cette utilit . Tout homme dou de son bon sens d sire ce qui peut contribuer son bien- tre, ce qui lui est utile, et repousse ce qui produit en lui du malaise ou de la douleur, ce qui lui est nuisible...
