Sobre la libertad
Mill, John Stuart
The philosophy of Stuart Mill (1806-1873) represents one of the strongest defenses of liberalism founded on a theological ethic. Following the theory of utilitarianism, for Mill freedom is not an ultimate and absolute principle, so it is not based on the social contract or natural rights, but must be considered according to its consequences on the happiness of individuals. and of society. The purpose of On Liberty is the formulation of the principle that is to regulate the relations between society and the individual in order to avoid despotism over individuals and minorities. The limitation of individual freedom is only justified when "the human race must be protected" and it must be "prevented from harming others", and never because it is thought to serve the individual's own good, since this, in what he is sovereign, according to the European Enlightenment tradition.
