The writings of John Stuart Mill have become the cornerstone of political liberalism. Collected for the first time in this volume are Mill&#8217;s three seminal and most widely read works: <i>On Liberty, The Subjection of Women, and Utilitarianism</i>. A brilliant defense of individual rights versus the power of the state, <i>On Liberty</i> is essential reading for anyone interested in political thought and theory. As Bertrand Russell reflected, &#8220;On Liberty remains a classic . . . the present world would be better than it is, if [Mill&#8217;s] principles were more respected.&#8221;<br><br>This Modern Library Paperback Classics edition includes newly commissioned endnotes and commentary by Dale E. Miller, and an index.
