I wish Mill had been aware of and engaged with the arguments of his London contemporary Karl Marx.
In fact, I wish they had met over a series of evenings to debate the foundations of political economy.
Wouldn't that dialogue, had it ever taken place, still be a continuing feast for all of us on the left?

Richard Reeves -- John Stuart Mill: Victorian Firebrand
Although the author was not an academic philosopher or historian but a journalist, his 2007 biography of Mill will not only serve as an excellent introduction to Mill and his work for those unfamiliar with this seminal liberal thinker but will also illuminate the philosopher's historical context for those mainly accustomed to examining his philosophical arguments.
Reeves stresses the importance of seeing Mill as a passionately engaged public intellectual and is concerned to dispel the myth of Mill as a dessicated humourless, purely cerebral intellectual.In addition to providing a more accurate representation of Mill's character, the demythologization that Reeves offers can also add to rebuttals of those continual conservative claims that reformers and radicals are bloodless "sophisters, economists, and calculators".*
In fact, as Reeves points out, conservative thinkers such as Carlyle and Coleridge exercised a significant influence on Mill's thought. Operating in conjunction with his Wordworth catalyzed opening to the poetic sensibility, these thinkers helped Mill escape the narrow confines of Benthamite thought. Yet Mill never became a conservative himself, even if some of his beliefs regarding capital punishment, the secret ballot, or universal suffrage might strike today's reader as such.
Mill's continuing commitment to progressive reform might best be seen in his commitment to feminism, a commitment unusual for his time, which deepened over the course of his life, and which will still grate with many conservatives today, not merely the incels and inmates of the manosphere. Reeves argues that his thinking on these matters was much his own as that of his beloved wife, Harriet. To what extent this is true must be debateable.
The most enduring part of Mill's intellectual legacy must be , as Reeves puts it, a " clearly and repeatedly articulated vision of a flourishing human
life―self-improving, passionate, truth-seeking, engaged and colourful―which it
was the job of individuals to cultivate, and the duty of society to promote". This characterization of Mill's core commitments should remind us, as his biographer points out, that "On Liberty" is as much concerned with the threats to autonomy posed by conformity and dogma as those from the excesses of government."On Liberty" still provides much to argue with and argue about. In spite of Mill's own reservations about democracy, it's a text that can play a valauble role in discussions about the ethos of democracy, or democracy as a way of life.
Although Reeves does mention Mill's work for the East India company, this aspect of his life deserves deeper research and more attention, even though Mill himself dismissed this work as being of no significance in his intellectual development.
Th biography reads easily without being simplistic, even if many of Mill's arguments are not analyzed with the thoroughness of professional philosophers. All the same, one might wish that many of those scholars would try harder to match their analytical rigor with a Reevesian readability!
* "But the age of chivalry is gone; that of sophisters, economists, and calculators has succeeded, and the glory of Europe is extinguished forever." Edmund Burke, "Reflections on the Revolution in France".

SIGUE ⬇️
En 1830 conoció a Harriet Taylor, una mujer brillante, culta y extraordinariamente inteligente.
El problema era que estaba casada y tenía tres hijos.
Durante veinte años mantuvieron una relación intelectual y emocional que provocó numerosos escándalos en la sociedad victoriana.Mill la consideró siempre su igual y afirmó repetidamente que muchas de sus ideas fueron desarrolladas junto a ella.
Tras la muerte del marido de Harriet, ambos pudieron casarse en 1851.La felicidad, sin embargo, fue breve.
Harriet murió de tuberculosis en Aviñón en 1858.
Mill quedó devastado.
Durante años visitó regularmente su tumba y continuó viviendo cerca de ella.
Su hijastra, Helen Taylor, se convirtió entonces en su colaboradora más cercana, secretaria y compañera en numerosas campañas políticas.Entre esas campañas destacó una especialmente revolucionaria.
En una época en la que la inmensa mayoría de los hombres consideraba absurdo que las mujeres votaran, Mill se convirtió en el primer parlamentario británico que defendió formalmente el sufragio femenino.
Cuando ocupó un escaño en la Cámara de los Comunes entre 1865 y 1868, presentó propuestas para eliminar la discriminación legal contra las mujeres.En 1869 publicó *El sometimiento de las mujeres*, una obra pionera donde denunciaba que el matrimonio victoriano convertía a muchas esposas en ciudadanas de segunda categoría.
Sus ideas escandalizaron a buena parte de la sociedad británica, pero terminarían influyendo en los movimientos feministas de todo el mundo.Su espíritu reformista se manifestó incluso cuando era adolescente.
Con apenas diecisiete años fue detenido temporalmente por distribuir información sobre métodos anticonceptivos entre las clases trabajadoras.
En la Inglaterra de la época aquello se consideraba inmoral y peligroso.Lejos de la vida pública, Mill era un hombre reservado.
Le encantaban los largos paseos por el campo, disfrutaba catalogando plantas y encontraba en la naturaleza un refugio frente al estrés intelectual.
También arrastró durante años problemas respiratorios y una salud delicada que lo llevó a pasar largas temporadas en Francia.Educado en un ambiente de ateísmo racionalista, nunca mostró interés por la religión organizada.
Esta postura le granjeó críticas constantes de los sectores más conservadores de la sociedad británica.John Stuart Mill murió el 8 de mayo de 1873 en Aviñón, Francia, a los 66 años.
Según la tradición, sus últimas palabras dirigidas a Helen Taylor fueron sencillas y serenas:"Sabes que he cumplido con mi trabajo."
Fue enterrado junto a Harriet Taylor, el gran amor de su vida, en el cementerio de Aviñón.
Hoy se le recuerda como uno de los pensadores más importantes de la historia moderna.
Defendió la libertad cuando muchos temían concederla, reclamó derechos para las mujeres cuando casi nadie las escuchaba y advirtió de los peligros del poder de las mayorías mucho antes de que esos debates llegaran al siglo XX.Quizá por eso sigue siendo tan actual.
Porque muchas de las preguntas que planteó hace más de 150 años siguen siendo las mismas que nos hacemos hoy.▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣

Liberalism’s enduring tension between promoting progress and safeguarding freedom is visible in foreign aid, where well-intentioned experts often undermine dignity and self-determination by assuming they know best. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/12/23/world/the-history-of-enlightened-oppression/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #adamsmith #immanuelkant #johnstuartmill #marquisdecondorcet #liberalism #colonialism #foreignaid #hunger #sdg #development

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)More info about this quote: wist.info/mill-john-stuart/547…

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.)

@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:
https://www.pdcnet.org/soctheorpract/content/soctheorpract_1997_0023_0002_0235_0250
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:
https://www.ppfideas.com/episodes/the-history-of-bad-ideas%3A-the-marketplace-of-ideas
(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: https://web.archive.org/web/20180825113414/https://www.economist.com/unknown/1843/08/05/prospectus. The story's covered in The Great Dissent by Thomas Healy: https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/thomas-healy/the-great-dissent/)

"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

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.

#Kant’s Categorical Imperative places the good outside of human reason, discerned as a special feeling of duty. He wanted to recover faith as the source of morality.
#JohnStuartMill’s #Utilitarianism is just hedonism plus Christianity: love your neighbor’s pleasure. “Good” is quantity over quality and your virtue comes from how large a group (excluding yourself) you disinterestedly serve, whatever their values.
Either are fine for “#AI” robots, not humans.

@Dianora Education is ... manifold.
There was a great essay I'd run across a few years ago looking at J.S. Mill's take on education as implemented in the 1860s UK, ""John Stuart Mill's Theories of Wealth and Income Distribution". (Review of Social Economy*. Pages 491-507. Published online: 05 Nov 2010.
http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00346760110081599
I've some notes here: https://old.reddit.com/r/dredmorbius/comments/6x7u6a/on_the_role_of_universities_and_primary_education/
Particularly these excerpts:
First, the universities were given the task of providing an unceasing supply of ideologically correct candidates for vital positions in government, church, and business. The state was able to make the faculties of the "venerable institutions" of higher education, or rather indoctrination, assume this duty because it controlled appointments and held the purse from which "emoluments" flowed into the coffers of academics....
The state devised a second educational strategy in order to prevent such a calamity from occurring. According to Mill, the "elementary schools for children of the working classes" were given the task of ensuring that the poor would continue to accept docilely their dismal station in life. It was very easy for the state to force the public schools to assume this role. It did so simply by failing malignantly to allocate sufficient funds for the operations of what Mill identified contemptuously as "places called schools"
More on both at my Reddit post and of course Jensen's article. He's largely citing Public and Parliamentary Speeches and Essays on England Ireland, and the Empire.
Countering propaganda is another aspect of interest to me, and Bernays's observation is trenchant. Pre-innoculation with anti-propaganda does seem at least somewhat effective.
