John Stuart Mill was a British philosopher, political economist and civic servant. Among the very prominent thinkers in the times of liberalism, he interposed largely to social philosophy, political theory and governmental economy. Named as “the most influential English-speaking philosopher of the nineteenth century”, John’s notion of freedom validated the liberty of a specific person in contradiction to limitless state and societal restraint.

John was an advocate of utilitarianism, an ethical philosophy refined by his precursor Jeremy Bentham, and interposed knowingly to the philosophy of the scientific technique.

He joined the Liberal Party, and was also the first Member of Parliament to support the rights of women.

John Stuart Mill was born in Rodney Street in the Pentonville stretch of London, the first son of the Scottish philosopher, historian and economist James Mill, and Harriet Burrow. John Stuart was taught by his father, with the counsel and aid of Jeremy Bentham and Francis Place.
