Mill’s thinking about independence in civic and social existence examines fundamental concepts shared among conservative, liberal, and radical politicians. The life of true idea stands outside the political fights that are rampant in culture and seeks the political wisdom that is essential for a good lifestyle in any age. Mill’s philosophical demonstration and analysis of these concepts stand alongside the reflections of Plato, Aristotle, Marcus Aurelius, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau.

When the officials of any federal government seek to improve the laws that regulate individual liberty or when rhetoricians look for to change public opinion about what individuals should or shouldn’t be allowed to state or do, Mill’s On Liberty serves as an effective antidote towards the poisons of excessive intrusion into the lives of people. The present edition is specifically made to utilize the dual character of rhetoric – dental and written language – also to utilize electronic technology to open Mill’s text message to modern listeners.
