Book excerpt: In "On Liberty," John Stuart Mill begins by writing, "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." It is this concept that is at the heart of this work. John Stuart 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..."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the beginning, the retention of liberty was necessary to protect against political tyranny of overzealous rulers. Citizens began to realize that in order to achieve their absolute liberty, government would have to begin working as an instrument, a delegate of the people's will. Whatever the majority opinion was would have to be the decision made by the government so the citizenry would never feel as though their best interests weren't being served. However, Mill cites this so-called victory of the people is nothing of the sort, it simply paved the way for a new type of tyranny: the tyranny of prevailing opinion. This tyranny is even more evil, according to Mill because it is pervasive, penetrating the intricacies of life and social interaction and silencing the minority's voice.This mute portion of the community may have the wrong, right, or part of the truth in its opinion it doesn't matter according to Mill. No matter what they have to contribute, it is extremely helpful to the community. The majority opinion is often faulted because it is biased with self-interest and personal convictions. There is no way for the majority to know that they are right and they owe it to the whole of society to listen to all arguments because it is clear that human opinion is fallible. Because of this great possibility of errors in judgment and an individual's right to autonomy, Mill believes that society should not impose its values on anyone.A person should have the right to act as they wish as long as the negative consequences of such actions are only felt by that person. However, if a person's act is not self-regarding and adversely affects others, a person should be held accountable for that act. Mill thinks that individual autonomy is opposite to the instincts of society, he asserts that society encourages and rewards conformity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the beginning, the retention of liberty became necessary to guard in opposition to political tyranny of overzealous rulers. Citizens began to recognize that so that you can reap their absolute liberty, government would have to begin operating as a tool, a delegate of the human being's will. Whatever most people opinion turned into might ought to be the choice made through the government so the citizenry might never experience as even though their first-rate interests weren't being served. However, Mill cites this so-referred to as victory of the human beings is nothing of the type, it actually paved the way for a brand-new form of tyranny: the tyranny of winning opinion. This tyranny is even greater evil, consistent with Mill due to the fact it is pervasive, penetrating the intricacies of existence and social interaction and silencing the minority's voice.

Book excerpt: Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the timeIn an essay on freedom, the first is the clear definition of what is meant by freedom and what it refers to. For freedom, and already on the first line of the first page, Stuart Mill defines "social or civil liberty, that is, the nature and limits of the power that society can legitimately exercise over the individual." In other words, the right of the individual to dissent from the collective and the obligation of this collective to defend the right to discrepancy. Stuart Mill denounces "the tyranny of the majority" among the evils, against which society must be put on guard. (...) or if he dictates them (the decrees) with regard to things in which he should not mix, he exercises a more formidable social tyranny than many political oppressions, ... he leaves less means to escape from it, for he penetrates much more into the details of life and comes to chain the soul ".And what things should not be mixed society, according to Stuart Mill? On the thought, on the expression, on the decisions of individual life, on any aspect that limits the individuality. In short, the individual must be free to decide who he wants to pray, if he wants to pray; who wants to love, if he wants to love; whom you admire, if you want to admire; against who or what to fight, if he wants to fight. The only limit Stuart Mill finds to freedom is harm to another. The only limit that governments and society can impose on an individual is precisely that this freedom is aimed at harming other members of society. Thus, the individual can shout for the death of the members of the government, without this having to intervene, until the moment that this or another individual takes direct actions to carry out this idea, that is, the death of the members of the government .

Like allthat I have written for many years, it belongs as much to her as to me;but the work as it stands has had, in a very insufficient degree, theinestimable advantage of her revision; some of the most importantportions having been reserved for a more careful re-examination, whichthey are now never destined to receive. Were I but capable ofinterpreting to the world one-half the great thoughts and noble feelingswhich are buried in her grave, I should be the medium of a greaterbenefit to it than is ever likely to arise from anything that I canwrite, unprompted and unassisted by her all but unrivalled wisdom._INTRODUCTION.I.John Stuart Mill was born on 20th May 1806. He was a delicate child, andthe extraordinary education designed by his father was not calculated todevelop and improve his physical powers. "I never was a boy," he says;"never played cricket." His exercise was taken in the form of walks withhis father, during which the elder Mill lectured his son and examinedhim on his work. It is idle to speculate on the possible results of adifferent treatment. Mill remained delicate throughout his life, but wasendowed with that intense mental energy which is so often combined withphysical weakness. His youth was sacrificed to an idea; he was designedby his father to carry on his work; the individuality of the boy wasunimportant. A visit to the south of France at the age of fourteen, incompany with the family of General Sir Samuel Bentham, was not withoutits influence. It was a glimpse of another atmosphere, though thestudious habits of his home life were maintained. Moreover, he derivedfrom it his interest in foreign politics, which remained one of hischaracteristics to the end of his life. In 1823 he was appointed juniorclerk in the Examiners' Office at the India House.

Download or read book That Broader Definition of Liberty written by Brian Stipelman and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2012-10-04 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: That Broader Definition of Liberty synthesizes a political theory of the New Deal from the writings of Franklin Roosevelt, Eleanor Roosevelt, Henry Wallace, and Thurman Arnold. The resultant theory highlights the need for the public accountability of private economic power, arguing that when the private economic realm is unable to adequately guarantee the rights of citizens, the state must intervene to protect those rights. The New Deal created a new American social contract that accorded our right to the pursuit of happiness a status equal to liberty, and grounded both in an expansive idea of security as the necessary precondition for the exercise of either. This was connected to a theory of the common good that privileged the consumer as the central category while simultaneously working to limit the worst excesses of consumption-oriented individualism. This theory of ends was supplemented by a theory of practice that focused on ways to institutionalize progressive politics in a conservative institutional context. Brian Stipelman, drawing upon a mixture of history, American political development, and political theory, offers a comprehensive theory of the New Deal, covering both the ends it hoped to achieve and the means it used to achieve them.
