Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Essay on Liberty The cufiom to which I have here alluded has upon no occahon been exercifed with greater alacrity, or pufhed to a greater extent, than upon the momentous fubjeét of Liberty. To the comprehen fivenefs and magnitude of this principle, in which the duties and happinefs of all beings are primarily concerned, we are to attribute the earnefinefs of difcuflion, and the variety of fentiment, which have been employed in explanations of it's nature and it's end. Hence we may account too for that aétive fpirit of penetration, which has carried it's inquiries into the firft foundations of Govern ment, and for that latitude of pr1v1lege, which every one afferts, to examine without conf'traint every fyftem, upon which the moral and political welfare of mankind may depend. The immediate and important influence, therefore, which the direction of this habit has upon the beit interef'cs of Liberty, will be evident to all, who re flect that upon this fubjeé't almoft every man eftabliihes the right of private judgment for himfelf; that every feeling of his vanity, and every effort of his fagacity, is eagerly bufied in drawing the moft favourable conclufions for unlimited freedom, and that from fuch conclufions have refulted the moft dreadful outrages that have de formed the moral and political order of the w.orld The attempt, then, to defcribe in it's true colours, and to fix. Within it's true limits, that to which the blindnefs of errour and the turbulence of pafiion have given a fhape fo difiorted, and a power fo uncontrouled, muf't appear of the weightief't moment in the opinion of thofe, to whom the real Liberties of mankind are valuable, in proportion as they are accurately underflood, and temperately enjoyed.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Essay on Liberty and Slavery In this vindication, we have been careful throughout to distinguish between the abolitionists, our accusers, and the great body of the people of the North. Against these we have said nothing, and we could say nothing; since for these we entertain the most profound respect. We have only assailed those by whom we have been assailed; and we have held each and every man responsible only for what he himself has said and done. We should, indeed, despise our selves if we could be guilty of the monstrous injus tice of denouncing a whole people on account of the sayings and doings of a portion of them. We had infinitely rather sufi'er such injustice - as we have so long done - than practise it toward others.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from On Liberty Which the ruler should he suffered to exercise over the community and this limitation was What they meant by liberty. It was attempted in two ways. First, by obtaining a recognition of certain immunities, called political liberties or rights, which it was to be regarded as a breach of duty in the ruler to infringe, and which if he did infringe, specific resistance, or general rebellion, was held to be justifiable. A second, and generally a later ex pedient, was the establishment of constitutional checks, by which the consent of the community, or of a body of some sort, supposed to represent its interests, was made a necessary condition to some of the more important acts of the governing power. To the first of these modes of limitation, the ruling power, in most European countries, was compelled, more or less, to submit. It was not so with the.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Liberty The necessity of teaching, not only to young Americans but to all prospective Americans, the meaning and mis sion of political liberty has but lately found expression in the movement known as Americanization. What is liberty as exemplified in American institutions? Where and how did it originate? Through what struggles and triumphs has it advanced? What peoples have always been its defenders, and how have its influence and bless ings been finally extended to include all nations of the earth? It is upon a knowledge of the facts implied in such questions as these that young American Citizens, whether native or foreign-born, are to become truly Americanized.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Freedom and Liberty In July 1916 I published an essay under the title of 'Freedom'. Its aim was purely ethical; that is, to show that, for the purposes of human evolution, each of the two opposites, law, or organic control, and liberty, or life, was of equal importance: that there can be no continued growth of the race as a whole without an equal growth of each of these conflicting principles. Beyond this conclusion I was unable to go. I recognized that as a system my philosophy was incomplete. It failed to provide the single final end without which the deduction of ethical values is impossible. But, at the time, I had little hope of carrying the inquiry further, and I published the results, as far as they went, in a cheap form, to preserve them from oblivion. In my previous writings I had indicated that the universal final end of ethics must be found in religion, and there only.

Download or read book The Limits of Individual Liberty written by Francis C. Montague and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Limits of Individual Liberty: An Essay Individual freedom and the function of the State have recently been topics of much controversy, not only among those who speculate upon politics, but among practical politicians in Parliament and in the newspapers. In these discussions all parties necessarily make many assumptions which require no small pains to define and verify. Every solution of a particular problem must imply general principles, and every general principle must have its place in a theory. A complete theory of individual liberty and the function of the State is a complete political philosophy; and a philosophy of politics involves a philosophy of things in general. The following essay does not pretend to be complete or to be philosophic. It merely aims at carrying political reflection one or two stages beyond the point reached by those whose sole interest is in party politics. It cannot assist the scientific inquirer; but it may interest some of those who like to criticize their own opinions. Such persons there are even in our own country; and if they find anything suggestive in this volume, it will have fulfilled the wishes of its author.

Download or read book Passages From the History of Liberty Classic Reprint written by and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Passages From the History of Liberty It is hardly necessary to explain the connection between the Passages, drawn all from one great stream of History, which are contained in this little volume. The efforts of the first Italian Reformers, here, of course, very briefly sketched, are illustrations of the isolation and travail of the Dark Ages. Wycliffe's work was a work of national principles, just beginning, in his time, to be acknowledged by his country of England. Savonarola's reforms express the desires for peace and purification, which were in all true hearts, during a period of so much strife and so many stains, as that period of transition from the Middle Ages to our Modern Times. The Castilian war is one among numerous histories concerning the same desires for juster principles and larger life, as they were in many places forced into struggles, tumultuous and unavailing. Without turning away from abstract truths, that are vigorous and beautiful to all who have open souls, we may be glad to seek the greater power and completer beauty which belong to human examples. We begin with things individual to end with things general, and all our Cathedrals must be built up, column by column, stone by stone. It is after such simplest purposes that these passages are here put together. Although neither many in number, nor full in detail, they may nevertheless be as clear, separately, as a single diminutive volume can be made to comprehend.

Download or read book On Liberty written by John Stuart Mill and published by . This book was released on 1859 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Introduction In his Autobiography, Mill predicts that the essay On Liberty is "likely to survive longer than anything else that I have written." He goes on to say that the essay is the expression of a "single truth: " "the importance, to man and society, of a large variety of types of character, and of giving full freedom to human nature to expand itself in innumerable and conflicting directions." In the essay itself, Mill defines his subject as "the nature and limits of the power which can be legitimately exercised by society over the individual." He defends the absolute freedom of individuals to engage in conduct not harmful to others, and the near-absolute freedom to express and discuss opinions of all kinds. Mill's essay survives, as he had predicted, because his powerful message is still widely rejected by the powerful, and by those who continue to seek power over the lives of others.
