  • On Liberty" consists of five chapters that sequentially build on Mill's philosophy of individual liberty. The first chapter of "On Liberty" introduces Mill's position on individual liberty. He believes that every individual should have the freedom to think, act, and organize as they wish, so long as their actions or thoughts do not infringe on the individual freedoms of others. Mill dedicates chapters two and three to explaining the different types of liberty he believes should be protected and why they benefit society. Chapter two explores the liberty of thought and discussion, which can also be understood as the freedom of thought and speech, while chapter three defines individual liberty and its importance to society. Chapter four develops the argument in favor of the protection of individual liberties by examining the power relationship between individual liberties and the institutions that govern society, such as the government. The fifth and final chapter includes illustrative examples of Mill's arguments in action. The essay concludes with a warning against the government's interference in daily life.
    When boiled down, "On Liberty" is a highly structured, logical argument primarily focused on preserving individual liberty in the belief that doing so serves society's best interest. Mill's argument is founded on the utilitarian belief that individuals should be free to pursue whatever serves their self-interest, so long as it doesn't harm others. Mill argues that the greatest threats to individual liberty, and therefore society, are social and political tyranny. Mill argues that political tyranny, such as a government's control over the people's will, is dangerous because it makes the individual subservient to its creation. To Mill, social tyranny is just as threatening to On Liberty" consists of five chapters that sequentially build on Mill's philosophy of individual liberty.

Mill argues that political tyranny, such as a government's control over the people's will, is dangerous because it makes the individual subservient to its creation. To Mill, social tyranny is just as threatening to personal liberties as political tyranny if not more so. Social tyranny, or the despotism of the majority, is the inability of an individual to express their thoughts for fear of social retaliation, such as ostracization or intimidation. Mill stresses that social tyranny's threat to individual liberty should not be underestimated because its locus of power is diffuse, relying on a subtle form of cultural coercion rather than authoritarian might. as political tyranny if not more so.

      Liberty is derived from the Latin word "liber" which means free or independent...the freedom to go where you want and do what you want... according to Mill state shouldn't interfere in individuals actions unless his actions harm others
