J.S. Mill (Routledge Revivals)

First published in 1974. As logician, economist, political theorist, practical politician and active champion of social freedom, John Stuart Mill is a figure of continuing importance. In this book the author does full justice to the range of Mill’s achievements, providing an introductory guide to his most important and best known writings. In their treatment of his works, the author seeks to emphasise Mill’s approach to those issues which remain most alive to us today. At the same time Mill is seen as part of his own age, responding to the anxieties that beset his contemporaries.
