On Liberty
"On Liberty" is a philosophical treatise written by John Stuart Mill in 1859. The book discusses the nature and limits of the power of the state over the individual.
In "On Liberty," Mill argues that individuals have the right to freedom of thought and expression and that the state should not interfere in their personal choices as long as they do not harm others. He also defends the concept of "the marketplace of ideas," in which a diversity of viewpoints can be freely expressed and debated.
"On Liberty" is a classic work of liberal political philosophy and is considered one of Mill's most important contributions to the field. The book continues to be widely read and studied today.
This edition has been modernised to contemporary English spelling and orthography, with a small number of archaic expressions updated for clarity.
