- Résumé : Texte à corriger : "On Liberty" by John Stuart Mill is a seminal work that explores the delicate balance between individual freedom and societal authority. Mill argues that the struggle between liberty and authority has been a central theme throughout history, particularly in the contexts of Greece, Rome, and England. He posits that the concept of liberty has evolved from being a protection against the tyranny of rulers to a more complex relationship between individuals and society. Mill emphasizes the importance of protecting individual independence from societal norms and the tyranny of the majority. He asserts that the only legitimate reason for society to exercise power over an individual is to prevent harm to others. Mill's principle of liberty is grounded in the idea that individuals should have the freedom to pursue their own good in their own way, as long as they do not harm others. He also highlights the importance of freedom of thought and expression as essential components of individual liberty. Mill's work is a response to the increasing tendency of society to impose its own opinions and inclinations on individuals, both through public opinion and legislation. He warns against the encroachment of societal power over individual freedom and advocates for a strong moral conviction to counteract this trend. "On Liberty" remains a pivotal text in understanding the dynamics of individual freedom and societal authority, advocating for a society that respects and nurtures the diversity of human development.
- Biographie : John Stuart Mill was born at 13 Rodney Street in Pentonville, then on the edge of the capital and now in central London, the eldest son of Harriet Barrow and the Scottish philosopher, historian, and economist James Mill. John Stuart was educated by his father, with the advice and assistance of Jeremy Bentham and Francis Place. He was given an extremely rigorous upbringing, and was deliberately shielded from association with children his own age other than his siblings. His father, a follower of Bentham and an adherent of associationism, had as his explicit aim to create a genius intellect that would carry on the cause of utilitarianism and its implementation after he and Bentham had died.
