First published in 1859, John Stuart Mill's On Liberty offers a thorough examination of individual freedom and its boundaries, set against the backdrop of political liberalism. Drawing on the ideas of prominent philosophers, Mill articulates a defense of representative democracy while cautioning against the "tyranny of the majority." Central to his argument is the harm principle, which asserts that individual liberties may only be restricted to prevent harm to others. This enduring work remains relevant today, challenging readers to consider the balance between personal freedom and societal constraints.
