The Importance of Being English: Individual freedoms and John Stuart Mill is part of the 2016 Contextual Lecture Series: Taking Liberties.
From its earliest beginnings, Britain’s culture has endorsed and exemplified the importance of the freedom of the individual. This is reflected in the development of science and technology, market economies, limited government beginning with Magna Carta, the rule of law, and the culture of personal autonomy. John Stuart Mill provided the clearest expression of this now globally dominant philosophy.
