Nineteenth century

John Stuart Mill

1806–1873

Author of On Liberty

Over himself, over his own body and mind, the individual is sovereign. On Liberty is the argument for that border, with exceptions he states rather than hides. Harriet Taylor, whom he credited beyond the custom of the time, is part of how the book thinks.
