\"On Liberty and Other Essays\" brings together the most important works of philosopher and political economist John Stuart Mill.

As he puts it, \"The struggle between liberty and authority is the most conspicuous feature in the portions of history with which we are earliest familiar...\" Second in this volume, \"Utilitarianism\" is the classic exposition of the Utilitarian philosophy, the basic principle of which is that one's actions should be guided towards outcomes that create the greatest good for the greatest numbers of people. In \"Considerations on Representative Government,\" Mill makes his arguments for the representative form of government as the ideal one. Lastly, \"The Subjection of Women\" is an essay co-written with his wife, Harriet Taylor Mill, arguing in favor of equality between the sexes.
