GOVERNMENT’S NON-INTERFERENCE WITH INDIVIDUAL’S ACTIONS

MILL ON THE STATE

Summary/Abstract: This paper discusses John Stuart Mill’s study of the state. Mill’s central thesis, that liberalism is characterized by reason and tolerance opposite to tyranny and the absolutist state, is in accordance with his stance on the state in which he advocated the defense of the rights of individuals. He pointed out that political and social interference with the freedom of the individual can be justified only if realizing individual freedom endangers others. The intervention of the state in social life is justified only when people endanger one another.
