何についての本か
個人の自由の古典的擁護。本人の意に反して権力を行使してよい唯一の正当な理由は、他者への危害を防ぐことである——本人のためでも、多数者の意見のためでも、決してない。
背景と歴史
1859年、『種の起源』と同じ年に出版された。ミルはこれを、前年に亡くなった妻ハリエット・テイラーとともに構想した。献辞はこの書を半ば彼女のものと呼び、彼は生涯、一行たりとも手を入れることを拒んだ。彼を悩ませたのは暴君というより、もっと新しい脅威だった——民主社会における多数者と慣習の専制、異なる考えを持つ者への社会的な窒息である。今日に至る言論の自由をめぐる論争の枠組みは、この著作が定めた。

In the same year his wife died. _Liberty_ was published shortly after, as well as the _Thoughts on Parliamentary Reform_, and no year passed without Mill making important contributions on the political, philosophical, and ethical questions of the day. Seven years after the death of his wife, Mill was invited to contest Westminster. His feeling on the conduct of elections made him refuse to take any personal action in the matter, and he gave the frankest expression to his political views, but nevertheless he was elected by a large majority. He was not a conventional success in the House; as a speaker he lacked magnetism. But his influence was widely felt. "For the sake of the House of Commons at large," said Mr. Gladstone, "I rejoiced …
