John Stuart Mill's "On Liberty" has long been published in just his name, but a new edition lists Harriet Taylor Mill as co-author.

This was partly based on research done with our archive of Mill-Taylor material, and we've just finished digitising it all.

Volumes are slowly going up on our open access Digital Library over the coming days and weeks: https://digital.library.lse.ac.uk/collections/list/collections/50#

Liberalism’s enduring tension between promoting progress and safeguarding freedom is visible in foreign aid, where well-intentioned experts often undermine dignity and self-determination by assuming they know best. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/12/23/world/the-history-of-enlightened-oppression/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #adamsmith #immanuelkant #johnstuartmill #marquisdecondorcet #liberalism #colonialism #foreignaid #hunger #sdg #development
A brief history of enlightened oppression

Enlightened oppression, even stripped of violence and cruelty, is still oppression.

A quotation from John Stuart Mill

A State which dwarfs its men, in order that they may be more docile instruments in its hands even for beneficial purposes — will find that with small men no great thing can really be accomplished; and that the perfection of machinery to which it has sacrificed everything, will in the end avail it nothing, for want of the vital power which, in order that the machine might work more smoothly, it has preferred to banish.

John Stuart Mill (1806-1873) English philosopher and economist
On Liberty, ch. 5 “Applications” (1859)

From *The Supreme Court and the Philosopher: How John Stuart Mill Shaped U.S. Free Speech Protections* by Eric Kasper and Troy Kozma:

"US constitutional jurisprudence today has remarkably strong free speech protections when compared to other developed democracies." (10)

This book just came out in 2024. I don't think they could have gotten away with that line if their book was published just a few months later... 😩

(Also, will use this thread for #ReadingNotes of this book, which I grabbed on a whim and should be a really interesting read, especially right now.)

"If all mankind minus one were of one opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind." - #JohnStuartMill
