Mill and Stephen on Liberty
This List Is By:
Liberty Fund Staff
Liberty Fund, Inc., Indianapolis, Indiana
In these discussion we will look at the idea of liberty expressed by John Stuart Mill in his book On Liberty (1859), the tension between libertarianism and conservatism, and the critique of Millian liberalism by James Fitzjames Stephen, Liberty, Equality, Fraternity (1874). [The image of Mill comes from “The Warren J. Samuels Portrait Collection at Duke University.”]
