Mill Mill A Philosopher John Mill British Philosopher [1806-1873] Mills works include: On Liberty [1859] Principles of Political Economy [1848] Utilitarianism [1863] His autobiography [1873] John Stuart Mill received a rigorous education from his father, James Mill, and family friend Jeremy Bentham, who were the founders of utilitarianism. In fact, Mill's education was so rigorous that he remembers mastering calculus by the age of nine! Understandibly, Mill went through a period of depression in his teens from all the stress that had been exerted on him at a young age. John Stuart Mill's own philosophy was highly influenced by his wife Harriet Taylor, so one can see symapthies towards womens rights, labor unions and farm cooperatives in Mill's works. Most notably, Mill is a proponent of liberty for a society, and his thoughts have had a profound effect on modern day economic and social-political thought. On Liberty presents various questions about Mill's philosophy. Of note, Mill advocated absolute liberty with his famous "harm principle" as its main constraint; there is some ambiguity as to when exactly a government can interfere with one's liberty to make sure that another person is not harmed.
