How can liberty, happiness, and equality guide the same society? This original English guide follows John Stuart Mill through On Liberty, Utilitarianism, Considerations on Representative Government, The Subjection of Women, and his colonial entanglement. Eighteen chapters explain the arguments, objections, Harriet Taylor Mill's contested but indispensable collaboration, women's suffrage, plural voting, and British rule in India. Invented contemporary examples, a working glossary, annotated sources, and a chapter-to-source map support critical reading. A guide to Mill, not a work by Mill.
