On liberty and other writings

Sobre el libro On liberty and other writings de John Stuart Mill publicado por Cambridge UP al 1989:

On Liberty has become celebrated as the most powerful defence of the freedom of the individual, and is now widely regarded as the most important theoretical foundation for Liberalism as a political creed. The Subjection of Women is a powerful indictment of the political, social, and economic position of women. This edition brings together these two classic texts, plus Mill´s posthumous Chapters on Socialism, his somewhat neglected examination of the strengths and weaknesses of various forms of socialism. The editor´s substantial introduction places these three works in the context both of Mill´s life and of nineteenth-century intellectual and political history. There is also a chronology of Mill´s life, a bibliographical guide, and a biographical appendix of names cited in the texts.
