Popis: If a short list of keywords had to be proposed in order to explain why John Stuart Mill (1806–1873) was a great liberal thinker, it would certainly include utility, liberty, and equality. These concepts express his view of liberalism, which lies between classical liberalism and a social, if not socialist, vision, calling for a significant intervention of the state. Apart from his insights in many domains of the individual, economic, social, and political life, Mill’s specific position in the history of liberalism justifies to devote particular attention to his work.
