2:30Now PlayingHow Does Mill's On Liberty Address Free Will? Have you ever wondered how ideas about personal freedom and individual choice shape our society? In this informative video, we'll explain the core concepts behind John Stuart Mill's ideas in On Liberty and how they relate to free will. We'll start by discussing Mill's belief that individuals should have the freedom to think, speak, and act as they wish, as long as they do not harm others. We'll explore the harm principle and how it serves to protect personal autonomy while maintaining social order.
We'll also examine Mill’s opposition to paternalism and his view that personal growth and happiness come from making independent decisions. Additionally, we'll look at the dangers of social pressure and the tyranny of the majority, which can limit free expression and individual choice. This video provides a clear understanding of how Mill’s ideas support the importance of personal liberty and individual development within society.
