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.

An exploration of the limits of government over the individual, this treatise on personal liberty has inspired debate since its publication in 1859, and has provided the foundation for modern liberal political thought.

"A must read" como diriam os gringos (da língua inglesa) =\

Um baita. Com certeza vou ter que fazer uma revisita ?

Só vou repetir o que já coloquei no meu insta, mesmo: A argumentação sobre a verdade e os limites e obrigac?o?es que temos como cidada?os na sociedade são pontos chaves ??
.
.
Hoje em dia com tanta fakenews e discussão sobre liberdade de expressão, esse ensaio é mais do que necessário ser trabalhado again and again ?

Bravo Stuart Mill, bravo ??
