The book begins with a biographical essay by David Bromwich and an interpretative essay by George Kateb. Then Jean Bethke Elshtain, Owen Fiss, Judge Richard A. Posner, and Jeremy Waldron present commentaries on the pertinence of Mill’s thinking to current debates. They discuss, for example, the uses of authority and tradition, the shifting legal boundaries of free speech and free action, the relation of personal liberty to market individualism, and the tension between the right to live as one pleases and the right to criticize anyone’s way of life.
?A timely edition of Mill?s great work, embellished with essays by the editors and four other prominent scholars which together show the continuing vitality of his radical libertarian doctrine.??Jonathan Riley, Tulane University
"These lucid and illuminating essays unravel the complexities and resonances of Mill?s thought?a perfect tool for teachers and students."?Susan Dunn, Williams College
"John Stuart Mill is part of the air we breathe. . . . His treatise On Liberty has just been reissued in a new edition by David Bromwich and George Kateb, and deserves attention."?Michael Potemra, National Review
