On Liberty

В книге "О свободе", одной из самых влиятельных философских работ, Джон Стюарт Милль исследует риски и ответственность свободы. Исследуя тиранию, которая может исходить как от правительства, так и от стадного инстинкта, Милль предлагает свободу мыслить, объединяться и достигать свои цели как наиболее важные свободы, при условии, что мы не причиняем вреда другим. Книга на английском языке. In one of the most influential philosophical works ever writen, John Stuart Mill explores the risks and responsibilities of liberty. Examining the tyranny that can come both from government and from the herd-like opinion of the majority, Mill proposes a freedom to think, unite, and pursue our pleasures as the most important freedoms, as long as we cause no harm to others.

They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives - and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization and helped make us who we are.
