Famous quotes by John Stuart Mill:

"Men do not desire merely to be rich, but to be richer than other men"

"Originality is the one thing which unoriginal minds cannot feel the use of."

"That so few now dare to be eccentric marks the chief danger of the time"

"The only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community against his will is to prevent harm to others."

"A person may cause evil to others not only by his actions but by his inaction, and in either case he is justly accountable to them for the injury."

"In this age, the man who dares to think for himself and to act independently does a service to his race"

"Actions are right in proportion as they tend to promote happiness; wrong as they tend to produce the reverse of happiness. By happiness is intended pleasure and the absence of pain."

"The worth of the state, in the long run, is the worth of the individuals composing it"

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse."

"Conservatives are not necessarily stupid, but most stupid people are conservatives."

"A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."

"The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."

"A party of order or stability, and a party of progress or reform, are both necessary elements of a healthy state of political life."

"It is questionable if all the mechanical inventions yet made have lightened the day's toil of any human being."

"Whatever crushes individuality is despotism, by whatever name it may be called and whether it professes to be enforcing the will of God or the injunctions of men."

"As long as justice and injustice have not terminated their ever renewing fight for ascendancy in the affairs of mankind, human beings must be willing, when need is, to do battle for the one against the other."

"There are many truths of which the full meaning cannot be realized until personal experience has brought it home."

"I have learned to seek my happiness by limiting my desires, rather than in attempting to satisfy them."

"The only part of the conduct of any one, for which he is amenable to society, is that which concerns others. In the part which merely concerns himself, his independence is, of right, absolute. Over himself, over his own body and mind, the individual is sovereign."

"The only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others. His own good, either physical or moral, is not sufficient warrant."

ON LIBERTY by John Stuart Mill - FULL Audio Book | Greatest Audio Books On Liberty is a philosophical work by British philosopher John Stuart Mill, originally intended as a short essay. The work, published in 1859, applies Mill's ethical system of utilitarianism to society and the state. Mill attempts to establish standards for the relationship between authority and liberty. He emphasizes the importance of individuality which he conceived as a prerequisite to the higher pleasures—the summum bonum of Utilitarianism. Furthermore, Mill criticized the errors of past attempts to defend individuality where, for example, democratic ideals resulted in the "tyranny of the majority". Among the standards established in this work are Mill's three basic liberties of individuals, his three legitimate objections to government intervention, and his two maxims regarding the relationship of the individual to society "which together form the entire doctrine of [Mill's] Essay." On Liberty was a greatly influential and well received work though it did not go without criticism. Some attacked it for its apparent discontinuity with Utilitarianism, while others criticized its vagueness. The ideas presented in On Liberty have remained the basis of much liberal political thought. It has remained in print continuously since its initial publication. To this day, a copy of On Liberty is passed to the president of the British Liberal Democrats as a symbol of office. Mill's marriage to his wife Harriet greatly influenced the concepts in On Liberty, which was largely finished prior to her death, and published shortly after she died. The three basic liberties in order of importance: 1) The freedom of thought and emotion. This includes the freedom to act on such thought, i.e. freedom of speech 2) The freedom to pursue tastes (provided they do no harm to others), even if they are deemed "immoral" 3) The freedom to unite so long as the involved members are of age, the involved members are not forced, and no harm is done to others - SUBSCRIBE to Greatest Audio Books: http://www.youtube.com/GreatestAudioBooks - Become a FRIEND: Facebook: http://www.Facebook.com/GreatestAudioBooks Google+: - READ along by clicking (CC) for Closed Caption Transcript! - LISTEN to the entire audiobook for free!

A child prodigy who read the works of Plato by the age of 8, his is a tragic but ultimately triumphant story. An abolitionist, feminist and tireless defender of individual freedoms, he will forever be remembered as a champion for the cause of liberty.

This video is 4th in the 8-part lecture series Philosophy and Human Values (1990). Thanks to rickroderick.org for making this available. I'm merely interested in redistributing to anyone who might enjoy and benefit. I. Another objection to Kant is the question of what happens when you are trying to will a universal principle in a situation when two principles are good and yet you cannot do them both. A. It is not just right or wrong. You must chose the one that leads to the best results. B. In an embodied context it may not do a bit of good to know the rule, illustrating that the moral life is full of ambiguity. II. Freedom in the 19th Century is addressed by Mill's commentary on liberty. A. Mill tries to show where the grounds are for the government's interference: with our liberty, a question of legitimacy, not of power. B. The harm principle posits that the only legitimate ground for social coercion is to prevent harm to others. Once you give this power up, it is over. C. The offense principle, which Mill would not support, posits society has a legitimate right to socially coerce to prevent "offending" others. Such offense undermines the moral tone of society. D. One must make a distinction between self-regarding actions and other-regarding actions in the harm principle. (Some argue that there is no such thing as a self-regarding action.) E. The principle of paternalism is that we can interfere with people for their own good. F. An added dimensions of the harm principle: social coercion can be used if decisions are encumbered by craziness, drunkeness of if freedoms of others are interfered with. III. There are limitations to Mill's account of freedom. A. It is an account of "negative freedom" only, a freedom from constraint. B. He says nothing about positive freedom to act. IV. Hegel argues that freedom is the meaning and the point of human history in general: Overcoming obstacles is gaining freedom. A. The challenge of freedom is to find the new boundaries and then to figure out how to break them down. B. Marx wrote that philosophers have only interpreted the world in various ways. The point is to change it.

Foundations of Modern Social Thought (SOCY 151) Adam Smith's ideas about self-interest should be understood as a precursor in some ways to John Stuart Mill's thinking on utilitarianism. Professor Szelenyi discusses, but does not resolve, the complexities of Adam Smith's moral and ethical positions staked out in The Theory of Moral Sentiments—including a focus on sympathy—and the most widespread economic interpretation of Smith and The Wealth of Nations that he is the economist of self-interest. One way to reconcile these so-called "two Smiths" is that, as social beings, it is in our self-interest to express benevolence and sympathy toward others. Mill, the student of Bentham since a very young age, humanizes the theory of utilitarianism. Perhaps he should be best remembered for his staunch views on liberty: liberty must never be compromised for the sake of expediency. 00:00 - Chapter 1.

Famous quotes by John Stuart Mill:

"Men do not desire merely to be rich, but to be richer than other men"

"Originality is the one thing which unoriginal minds cannot feel the use of."

"That so few now dare to be eccentric marks the chief danger of the time"

"The only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community against his will is to prevent harm to others."

"A person may cause evil to others not only by his actions but by his inaction, and in either case he is justly accountable to them for the injury."

"In this age, the man who dares to think for himself and to act independently does a service to his race"

"Actions are right in proportion as they tend to promote happiness; wrong as they tend to produce the reverse of happiness. By happiness is intended pleasure and the absence of pain."

"The worth of the state, in the long run, is the worth of the individuals composing it"

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse."

"Conservatives are not necessarily stupid, but most stupid people are conservatives."

"A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."

"The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."

"A party of order or stability, and a party of progress or reform, are both necessary elements of a healthy state of political life."

"It is questionable if all the mechanical inventions yet made have lightened the day's toil of any human being."

"Whatever crushes individuality is despotism, by whatever name it may be called and whether it professes to be enforcing the will of God or the injunctions of men."

"As long as justice and injustice have not terminated their ever renewing fight for ascendancy in the affairs of mankind, human beings must be willing, when need is, to do battle for the one against the other."

"There are many truths of which the full meaning cannot be realized until personal experience has brought it home."

"I have learned to seek my happiness by limiting my desires, rather than in attempting to satisfy them."

"The only part of the conduct of any one, for which he is amenable to society, is that which concerns others. In the part which merely concerns himself, his independence is, of right, absolute. Over himself, over his own body and mind, the individual is sovereign."

"The only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others. His own good, either physical or moral, is not sufficient warrant."
