By John Stuart Mill and George Vasey

Book Overview

""Individual Liberty, Legal, Moral, and Licentious: In Which The Political Fallacies of J.S. Mill's Essay On Liberty Are Pointed Out"" is a book written by George Vasey in 1877. The book is a critique of John Stuart Mill's essay ""On Liberty"" and argues against the notion of absolute individual liberty. Vasey argues that individual liberty must be balanced with moral and legal considerations, and that unrestricted liberty can lead to licentiousness and moral decay. The book examines Mill's arguments in detail and provides counterarguments to his ideas. Vasey also discusses the role of the state in regulating individual liberty and argues that the state has a responsibility to protect the common good. Overall, ""Individual Liberty, Legal, Moral, and Licentious"" is a thought-provoking critique of one of the most influential works on political philosophy in the Western world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
