John Stuart Mill
John Stuart Mill (1806-1873) was a British philosopher, political economist, and civil servant, best known for his contributions to liberalism and utilitarianism. He advocated for individual liberty and freedom of speech, famously arguing in his work 'On Liberty' that society should not silence dissenting opinions, as doing so undermines the very foundations of freedom. His ideas on the importance of personal autonomy, democratic governance, and social justice have had a lasting impact on political thought and continue to influence contemporary debates on civil liberties and human rights.
