Über die Freiheit

Book • 1859
In 'Über die Freiheit', John Stuart Mill discusses the historical struggle between authority and liberty, emphasizing the importance of individuality and the protection of individual rights.

He argues that the only legitimate reason for state intervention is to prevent harm to others.

The essay is divided into chapters that address the freedom of thought and discussion, the liberty of tastes and pursuits, and the limits to the authority of society over the individual.

Mill's work is a cornerstone of liberal philosophy, advocating for the sovereignty of the individual over their own body and mind.
