Summary

The arguments advanced in the second chapter ofOn Liberty(1859) have become the touchstone for practically every discussion of freedom of speech, yet the broader development of John Stuart Mill's ideas concerning intellectual liberty has generally been neglected. This work attempts to fill that lacuna by looking beyondOn Liberty, in order to understand the evolution of Mill's ideas concerning freedom of thought and discussion.
