John Stuart Mill, a renowned philosopher and political economist, was known for his contributions to utilitarianism and liberalism.

Acerca do autor

John Stuart Mill (1806–1873) was a towering figure in the realm of political philosophy, logic, and economics during the 19th century. Born on May 20, 1806, in Pentonville, London, Mill was the eldest son of James Mill, a noted Scottish historian, economist, and philosopher. Under his father's rigorous tutelage, John Stuart Mill embarked on an extraordinarily intense education, studying Greek at the age of three and Latin at eight, which profoundly shaped his intellectual development. His magnum opus, 'A System of Logic, Ratiocinative and Inductive' (1843), delves into the foundations of scientific reasoning and the principle of induction, reflecting his commitment to the empirical approach of the British philosophical tradition. Mill's contributions to logic and scientific methodology were as significant as his liberal political theory, which advocated for individual liberty and utilitarian ethics, elaborated in his later works such as 'On Liberty' (1859) and 'Utilitarianism' (1863). Throughout his career, Mill was an ardent proponent of women's rights, which is most evident in his essay 'The Subjection of Women' (1869). His literary style, characterized by clarity, rigor, and a persuasive advocacy for human rights, has left an indelible mark on modern thought, influencing areas as diverse as social theory, economics, and the philosophy of science.
