  1. John Stuart Mill's "On Liberty" has long been published in just his name, but a new edition lists Harriet Taylor Mill as co-author.

    This was partly based on research done with our archive of Mill-Taylor material, and we've just finished digitising it all.

    Volumes are slowly going up on our open access Digital Library over the coming days and weeks: digital.library.lse.ac.uk/coll

  11. A quotation from John Stuart Mill

    A State which dwarfs its men, in order that they may be more docile instruments in its hands even for beneficial purposes — will find that with small men no great thing can really be accomplished; and that the perfection of machinery to which it has sacrificed everything, will in the end avail it nothing, for want of the vital power which, in order that the machine might work more smoothly, it has preferred to banish.

    John Stuart Mill (1806-1873) English philosopher and economist
    On Liberty, ch. 5 “Applications” (1859)

  16. From *The Supreme Court and the Philosopher: How John Stuart Mill Shaped U.S. Free Speech Protections* by Eric Kasper and Troy Kozma:

    "US constitutional jurisprudence today has remarkably strong free speech protections when compared to other developed democracies." (10)

    This book just came out in 2024. I don't think they could have gotten away with that line if their book was published just a few months later... 😩

    (Also, will use this thread for #ReadingNotes of this book, which I grabbed on a whim and should be a really interesting read, especially right now.)

  22. @Gotterdammerung I realise you're defending it, but thought you might find interesting that the "marketplace of ideas" trope has a chequered history. I'd found a piece years back by Jill Gordon, "John Stuart Mill and 'The Marketplace of Ideas'" which strongly corresponded to (and extended) my own thinking:

    pdcnet.org/soctheorpract/conte

    More recently, David Runciman (podcast, sorry, and no transcript of which I'm aware) did a really good 'splainer in his "History of Bad Ideas" series on the Marketplace of Ideas as well:

    ppfideas.com/episodes/the-hist

    (Others may find that more useful than you will.)

    If you'd like I can re-listen and synopsise the podcast for you.

    Upshot though is that good ideas don't tend to emerge in a free-for-all marketplace. Laboratories, seminars, and non-motivated (dialectical, rather than sophistical / rhetorical) exchange. My argument is that "marketplace of ideas" was more about selling markets (many early advocates were also free-market advocates) than the metaphor vis-a-vis ideas themselves.

    (If you go through especially Oliver Wendell Holmes's characterisation in Schenck v. US, one of the strong influences on him was Francis Wrigley Hirst, former editor of The Economist, itself created to promote free speech ideas as is made clear in its prospectus: web.archive.org/web/2018082511. The story's covered in The Great Dissent by Thomas Healy: kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews)

  38. "To refuse a hearing to an opinion, because they are sure that it is false, is to assume that their certainty is the same thing as absolute certainty. All silencing of discussion is an assumption of infallibility." #JohnStuartMill #LiberalValues

  39. The Interesting World Hypothesis (IWH) and Mill's Harm Principle serve distinct purposes and have different focuses, yet they share common goals and principles.

    The Harm Principle is primarily a philosophical concept that focuses on limiting one's actions to prevent causing harm or infringing upon others' liberty. Its core objective is to protect individual autonomy and respect others' rights and freedoms.
