John Stuart Mill, a 19th century English philosopher, wrote three books at are still widely-read today: On Liberty, Utilitarianism, and The Subjection of Women. This is a brief introduction to Mill and his work for students taking survey-level courses in philosophy and AP European History.
Your students are very lucky to have you as a teacher. Some of these concepts can be tricky, trying to get your head round them is like trying to nail jelly to the wall. But ( excuse the laboured pun), you nailed it. Great job, enjoyed that.
Being a lover of philosophy myself, I can tell you without reservation that you did an awesome job imparting "the flavor" of John Stuart Mill's ideas.
Your summative and colorful visuals combined with your clear diction and lively speaking style earn you an A+ from me.
Thank you for "gifting" us with your penchant for teaching.
That's quite a compliment! I'm really pleased with how well this video has done, as I'm a history teacher who dabbles in philosophy. I'm especially passionate about liberty and I hope to do what I can to popularize the philosophy of classical liberalism. Thanks for these kind words - they're the fuel that runs this channel!
Great job as always. You have a wonderful way of simplifying- back when I took Western Civ in college, these videos would have been so helpful. These kids these days- they have it so easy. When I was their age, cable internet was a luxury...
For real! We used to be stuck with whatever teacher we had. Now, people have so many options when it comes to receiving instruction.
Hey Hey Tom Richey,
Just dropping by to say you have been a huge help with my schooling. History has always been a tough subject for me in my younger years. As an adult working towards my bachelors degree in environmental science, the history classes seem to me to be all the more irrelevant. You have helped put all of the lessons into perspective for me! Thank you so much!
Katie.
you are actually a great teacher......I salute you
In addition to studying my notes and text book, i am listening to your videos. I hope this all helps to remember the important facts. Your explanation is clear and concise and easy to understand. Thanks.
Never have I received such a clear, simple, and understandable explanation of J.S. Mill's philosophy. Thank you so much for this.
I barely comment on people's lectures but I felt that I had to do it at least for time. I am taking World History and your lectures have been useful to me. I like the way you resume big and important event without leaving relevant details... Thank you so much
this was great - learned more about mill from this lecture than i did in entire semester discussing philosophers like mill etc
thanks a lot!
Thank you for explaining Mill's philosophy in such a simplified manner. He is one of my most favorite philosophers as well.
My pleasure! Thanks for supporting my work!
My first introduction to Mill; definitely feel enthused to study more on this subject. Thank you!
Excellent vid! The content was simple, concise and easy to understand! Thank you for delivering the lecture. I found it really useful!
This was soo helpful! You made it easy to understand and enjoyable! Thank you!
Well done summary, brief however informative. Thanks!!
Neat and clear!! Thanks for the video . It helped me get an introductory idea of J S Mill for my school project ! Tried many videos , this the best so far
Thank you, Very easy to understand and helpful. I really enjoyed your video and made it much simpler for my philosophy class.
Can't believe I'm back here. You got be through AP Euro History and now I'm back here to review in my last year of undergraduate political philosophy
I was studying John Mill on my philosophy book, but I couldn't understand some of his key-thoughts, so I searched through youtube and I found you! I understood everything you explained in such an easy and understandable way! Thank you! By the way sorry for my english, I'm Italian :)
Thank you for your splendid work! Many of your videos have been very helpful to my studying.
I find your political thought videos very helpful and have used them as a study tool in preparation for exams. Thanks alot keep at it you have a knack for this!
Well done! It is. very succinct and clear. Thank you
Tom richy... Wonderful explanation sir 😇
This helped so much! Thank you!
thanks a lot I have an in class essay about Mills books and this helped me a lot !
Clear and succinct. Thank you.
Cool! Glad you liked it! I did this one kind of off the cuff, so I'm glad it made sense to someone.
as usual, awesome vid, still waiting for a video on montesquieu
Jane Pudica At some point, it will happen - either a video on Montesquieu and/or a video on the philosophes, in general, that would include Montesquieu. I wish I had time to make all of the videos I want to make.
Great lecture .... thank you sir
GREAT JOB.. Used these ideas for my presentation.
Thanks Tom
Excellent video, helping me to recap and revise for my finals!
Glad I could help!
I lowkey loved the rock music transitions.
Very easy to follow. Thank you. from London
John staurt mill is a political thinker and philosopher. He wrote many books . Eg. On liberty.
Tom, you simplify the complicated for me as usual....I aspire to gain from your gift of communication...thank you
You're quite welcome. Glad I've been able to help you!
Hey Tom, thank you so much, this has help me to have a better understanding on John S. Mill, thanks again!
This was really helpful! Thanks so much :)
Study well 👍
Your videos are great!
really helpful, so thank you. I think you do a great job of putting things simply and conveying the message these great people had
John is one of my fav too
Hey Tom, I originally found your amazing content when researching for an essay on Peter the Great, now I'm writing another essay on John Stuart Mill and was very happy to see that you had an awesome video on who he was. Keep doing what you're doing with these awesome videos and thank you!
Thank you! That helped me a lot!
Great job done on the part of the video presenter. I love lectures like these. I used to find these thinkers fascinating, but have never delved any deeper unless it was part of a college experience. Now that I'm done with my basic courses, I have re-entered this world that provides me greater comfort than the popularized mass culture seen before me. Sure I still watch a few television shows or play a few games every once in a while to keep in touch with popular culture, but the classics are too timeless to simply abandon. Perhaps these two selves, the geeky nerdy personality type who enjoys comic books or anime, and the life of the far flung intellectual creative, who finds free thought equally interesting, can be somehow brought into unison.
Indeed, man! Typically, after I finish filming one of these, I watch some How I Met Your Mother on Netflix! Glad you enjoyed the lecture and I hope I've earned your subscription.
Which episodes have you seen so far? I like the one where Neil Patrick Harris announces all the legendary nights, such as the Mariachi band and bringing a horse into the bar. He is also a good actor in Million Ways to Die in the West.
concise to the point thank you
"The invisible hand," Omg Tom, really xD, and splendid video, really helped me grasp the material that other wise might've been tricky to take in.
Great video! Please, make a video about Adam Smith!
Thanks for the Info sir...
Mr. Richey,
You've done a fantastic job summarizing Mill's thought and making it understandable for young and old alike. I too teach AP Euro and I'm indebted to you for creating this eight minute masterpiece. With your permission, I would like to show it to my students. Thank you. Nick Bastian, Olathe South High School, Olathe, KS
Very good work. Please share some videos on Derrida's deconstruction theory.
Ankur jhavery Thanks! As for Derrida, I have no idea who that is...
Great video
Thank you so much, Tom Richey. Your videos helped me a lot last year in my philosophy exams and this year as well (and somewhat in my Political Thought paper too.) So yes, you just helped a student in India, who has her exams tomorrow.
Anuja Singh Thank you so much for sharing this with me! I'm always glad when my videos help people and I'm even more excited about it when people halfway across the world are benefiting from my work. Good luck on your exam tomorrow!
I just took a philosopher test in my AP Lang class & it said that I am most like John Staurt Mill!
I love that Greg Otto on the show American Housewife writes the book: “John Stuart Mill and the Consequences of a Thoroughgoing Empiricist Outlook”
I’d bet you could help actually write this book.
You should do more intellectual history, this is great. Kind-of funny how Mill argued for "benevolent despotism" over the colonies, despite his ardent beliefs in equality though. These guys are always so high-minded, but often hypocritical in action.
Wonderful
love this video
thank you.. very useful
You're welcome!
Thankyou 🌸
THANK YOU. i would like to see a lecture on thomas R. malthus, Tom
thank you so much
Great video, I'm currently writing upon Mill and liberty and this was helpful to solidify my understanding! Mill has been one of my favorites to learn about as his ideas are all so paramount to many of the governmental and social structures we see today, amazing stuff.
You're a great teacher! I found your channel last week and I enjoy watching your videos very much! Greetings from Sweden :)
Thank you for this video. An excellent summary of this magnificent book.
nice sir its very helpful in my study thanks be happy
Great video! Just what I needed -- a bird's eye view of Mill. I'm doing a contrast of Mill and Kant. Thanks for the assistance! Keep up the wonderful work.
I'm glad I could help you! I hope to tackle Kant and some other philosophers in similar videos down the road.
thanx very much sir)) tomrichey
can u make some videos about Jean Jaque Roussue and Edmund Burke
You make things easy to understand. Love from 🇵🇰
thank you so much for such great lectures, it's been a year I am following your videos and getting passed on my exams.
Thanks for the explanation, I love the music.
this is a very good video!
I'll have to present his most important works tomorrow.
thx 4 your help, dexter morgan :)
Brilliant!
I'll take brilliant! Glad you enjoyed it. I plan on expanding my philosophy offerings over the coming months.
That's an epic intro.
Thanks for the videos Tom! I watch your videos pertaining to freedom theorists and their fantastic. Shout out to your video on Hobbes and Locke. They were factual and entertaining, what more can a student ask for. If you could do a video on Edmond Burke, and Karol Marx you would make my day!
Benjamin Hicks Burke actually made his way into my "Isms" video and maybe at some point I will give him a full treatment. Glad you can see the freedom theme in a lot of my work. I hope to do what I can to help people understand the idea of freedom and why it's important.
great video! you should have more subscribers! im recommending you to my friends! keep up the great work sir!
lumel666 THANKS A BUNCH! This channel keeps growing (I've gotten 1,000 subs in the past month) and a large part of it is because of people like you promoting it!
Fantastic video, keep 'em coming!
Do you have any videos about challenges to classical liberalism? for example negative and positive outcomes of classical liberalism? I may have to argue this on a position paper and I'd like to know to what extend we should embrace classical liberal ideologies. If you have time, please respond. Thanks.
Great!!
Thanks!!!
Kevin Devries You're welcome! And thank you for watching and commenting!
Thank you for your lectures on these philosophers it has really helped me alot, please can you do a video on Karl Marx's philosophy
thanks, great introduction before going to class!
Great video. Thank you, Tom!
Thnkyou...
I was looking for a deeper dive. A unique perspective. This seems to be just the presentation of facts that are easy to find elsewhere. What's the point? I could do a video about what you said about the topic, what point would there be to watch it if people could just watch your video?
Fantastic video! I have a quiz coming up that will have him on it, so this is a big help! By the way, do you have any other videos on the 5 -isms (Liberalism, Nationalism, Socialism, Romanticism, and Conservatism) besides the one on Romanticism? I'm having trouble telling some of them apart, and it's starting to bring my grade down. Thanks!
I have TWO on Romanticism (one focuses on art) and another on the Congress of Vienna which touches on Conservatism and Metternich's opposition to Liberalism. I plan to follow up with more videos on the other isms at some point and I could see myself doing an "isms" review video of sorts, as well.
Ok, thanks!
thank you sir can you make videos on Indian political thoughts
Good intro to Mill's philosophy for those who don't know him.
Music is horrible though
Glad you liked the video... As far as the music, I guess I can't please everyone!
What do mean by limits? At what level personal or political?
cool!!
Fereon Meferia THANKS!!!
Sir please explain to board working......
Can you share any video on the spirit of the age by John Stuart Mill
Uğur Seyfettin Aktuğ Unfortunately, I've never read it. Perhaps I should?
This is super helpful! I am doing a debate and pretending to be a liberal reformer from the 1800s in a debate tomorrow in my AP Euro class. Loved the rock music.
Can you do a video about Georg Hegel and Friedrich Nietzsche? You’re the only person in UA-cam who’s not boring. Everyone else talks so slow and in monotone.
You are very cool and very good .
Satish Kumar And I am very honored by your kind words!
I read this book when I was 12 years old.
Thanks Richey ; You are very elaborate. I also love the Rock effects
great overview
Thanks!
What did philosopher john Stuart mill think about confirmation bias?
Thank you.
I should be thanking you! Without my subscribers, I'd be talking to myself!
good
Short, concise, clear. A perfect video to send to friends to help introduce them to modern Libertarian thinking and its roots in classical liberalism.
Very good video! This is really going to help me for my presentation next week! Well done :)
Jasper Hekking AWESOME! Glad I've been able to help you!
