John Stuart Mill is regarded as one of the most influential thinkers of the Victorian Era. In this speech, he defends the practice of capital punishment. He states, “I defend this penalty, when confined to atrocious cases, on the very ground on which it is commonly attacked - on that of humanity to the criminal; as beyond comparison the least cruel mode in which it is possible adequately to deter from the crime.” Though written in the 1800s, Mill’s argument is still relevant in contemporary discussions of capital punishment.

John Stuart Mill (1806-1873) had a profound influence on the shape of 19th-century thought and political discourse. His view of liberty justified the freedom of the individual in opposition to the unrestricted state. Mill favoured decentralised forms of socialism because he thought that a centralised model would discourage competition, neglect talent, and disregard freedom.

Publicado en 1869, La esclavitud femenina abordó con valentía el problema de la desigualdad entre los sexos, definiéndolo como «uno de los principales obstáculos para el progreso de la humanidad». En opinión de John Stuart Mill, que publicó este tratado cuando las mujeres de su país no podían votar ni disponer de bienes, alcanzar una «igualdad perfecta» en materia legal y social era indispensable para una sociedad más justa, y no cabe duda de que su libro contribuyó a crearla al desmontar con implacable lógica el endeble argumentario de quienes favorecían la opresión histórica de la mujer.

In 'La libertà', uno dei saggi di filosofia politica più influenti della storia moderna, John Stuart Mill si interroga sul concetto di libertà e le sue forme. Cos'è la libertà? Cosa deve fare lo stato per garantirla? Cosa, invece, devono fare gli individui per assicurarsela, per sé e per gli altri? Delineando i limiti di ciò che può essere definito "libertà", Mill emerge come appassionato sostenitore della diversità e antagonista dell'univocità.

A celebration of individuality, diversity, and nonconformity, On Liberty still makes a persuasive argument for what John Stuart Mill believed to be humankind’s essential liberties: the freedoms of speech, assembly, and the pursuit of pleasure, so long as one’s actions do not impede the liberty of another. These freedoms, he maintained, result in a far more successful society than one ruled by the tyranny of the majority. This treatise on personal liberty has inspired debate since its publication in 1859, and has provided the foundation for modern liberal political thought.
