    It is not an introduction to Mill, you have nearly covered all key aspects of his philosophy. Especially the part about the representative democracy (adding also Burke on the duty of the representers) is perfect. Great video, thank you.

    I know I have my biases but it really boggles me that none of this English philosopher spoke against colonisation of other countries.. I mean Mill was a part of East India Company which milked India to it's fullest.. Can't imagine how would he put theory of Utilitarianism on this part??

      It was the times in which they lived and he believed the colonisation was the only way to make less developed countries more progressive.

    Although Mill did not trust under developed nations to rule themselves democratically, I understand that he was one of the few who were not racist and/or agreed with slavery of some, or were purposefully silent on the subject....Like Kant in his early life, Nietze Aristotle, the supposed jesus, and other so-called. Moral leaders

    He received a salary from the East India Company, so his 'happiness' was
    more important than that of 300 million Indians, who were treated as
    slaves. So 'thinking' about 'happiness' and 'rights' are useless when
    you are unable to put yourself in others shoes. His theory may be true,
    but it was also a way to justify his hypocrisy.

    I appreciate your video. I have been going through video's on this topic and find most are a bit daft, being largely polluted by the posters assumed political ideas and so, at least to my eye, not appearing as nearly as objective. Of course that could just be my political eye, but in any case, your presentation fed several interesting questions to my thinking whereas the rest as just largely shown a good bit more injudicious thinking.

      Should read mills autobiography! The professor got lots of information from there it seems. The first chapter is Mill's flexing his brilliance built from his father's intense schooling. I find it hilarious and dope.

    • @thomasjamison2050
      @thomasjamison2050 2 роки тому +2

      @@joshuabuitrago6498 There are people who have a mental life far in advance of their temporal peers. This does produce results that seem ridiculous to their peers, or hilarious if you prefer, but which to many several centuries later were actually rather on the mark, or dope, if that's what one means by the term. A couple other examples are, to my thinking, Cromwell and Charles Sumner. Nevertheless, they were not perfect nor was their thinking flawless, but it was far ahead of their times, and so alien to the thinking of so many of their times that it becomes difficult for us to place them in the proper perspective. The key to all this, in my thinking, is that they had minds that were fundamentally more logical than rational. They naturally saw the logical truths as truths, rather than seeing the common and prevalent rationalizations of their time as truth. They didn't go along with what everyone thought just because everyone thought it.

  • @martinbennett2228

    I think your claim that Mill reserved Liberal governance for European countries is overstated. He refers to barbarian societies alongside referring to how children have to become educated before adult guidance is removed. Elsewhere in On Liberty he recognises Indian and Chinese societies as the products of established civilisations, but particularly in the case of Chinese society as an example of the harm resulting from suppression of Liberty.
    In On Liberty, it is clear to me from the context that Mill is referring to societies in which education is absent, when he uses the term barbarian.
    I think there is an earlier work, when Mill was still employed by the East India Company where he is more ready to defend colonialism, but this point of view is much more restricted in On Liberty.
