Yet Mill himself was a formidable and important Utilitarian thinker in his own right  who earned the respect of even those who disagreed with him. His range was enormous (historian  political philosopher  psychologist  educational theorist  and economist)  repeatedly crossing the disciplinary boundaries we take for granted today. This volume presents a wide sampling of Mills political writings and polemical essays. It begins with his classic work  the Essay on Government  it also includes pieces on the protection of rights  the importance of education  the free press  the secret ballot  and governments use of punishment against those who violate the rights of fellow citizens. The collection concludes with Macauleys famous critique of the Essay  and Mills heretofore unnoticed reply in his Fragment on Mackintosh (1835). This is the first time that such a selection of Mills political works has appeared as one volume.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45646694678581,"sku":"ByrdShop_0521387485","price":38.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780521387484.jpg?v=1781677401","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/james-mill-political-writings-cambridge-texts-in-the-history-of-political-thought-9780521387484","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
