J.S Mill: Liberty (Freedom of Speech/Character/Action)

Join George and John as they discuss and debate different Philosophical ideas, today they will be looking into the works of John Stuart Mill and his political philosophy around liberty.

Concerned with how free an individual should be within a state, Mill claimed people should have absolute freedom and liberty, including freedom of speech, freedom of character and freedom of action. The individual should have no restrictions unless their actions harm others. The state or government cannot force people to do anything, unless they are trying to prevent harm to another person.

Is a society with maximum liberty and freedom the best society we could hope for? Watch as Mill’s liberty is examined and critically assessed.
