On Liberty: And Other Essays (Kaplan Classics of Law)

This influential work from British philosopher and politician John Stuart Mill, complemented by his essays on logic, politics and economy, was a radical assertion when it was first published in 1859. A core text in the development of liberalism in England and the U.S., many of Mill’s famous political ideas – “The Harm Principle,” “Tyranny of the Majority,” and the components of human liberty – still spur debate and inspire discussion in political circles today.<br/>Also included are Mill’s essays “A Few Words on Non-intervention” and “Austin on Jurisprudence.”
