John Stuart Mill – On Liberty & Considerations on Representative Government

(The Folio Society, 2008)

Edition note:
Includes On Liberty (1859) and Considerations on Representative Government (1861), with an introductory essay by Isaiah Berlin.

Introduction:
John Stuart Mill’s On Liberty remains one of the most influential works on individual freedom and political thought ever written. In combination with Considerations on Representative Government, this Folio Society edition presents Mill’s vision of liberal democracy and civil liberty—ideas that shaped modern Western philosophy and governance.

Content:
This volume unites two of Mill’s cornerstone works:
• On Liberty – Mill’s defense of freedom of thought and speech, and his enduring argument for individuality as a vital element of human happiness.
• Considerations on Representative Government – his analysis of the principles and functioning of democratic government, including discussions on suffrage, voting, and political participation.
The edition also features an introductory essay by Isaiah Berlin, “John Stuart Mill and the Ends of Life”, adding modern philosophical context to Mill’s 19th-century ideals.
