The Life of John Stuart Mill

The second video in Genius: The Series. Mill, a pivotal and complex figure in the history of political thought, is arguably the most influential philosopher of the 19th century. A child prodigy who read the works of Plato by the age of 8, his is a tragic but ultimately triumphant story. An abolitionist, feminist and tireless defender of individual freedoms, he will forever be remembered as a champion for the cause of liberty. The transcript can be found here: adamalonzi.word...

Stumbling and blundering in the pursuit of truth, is normal. How enabling! The man was a complex. Thanks for analysing the complicated whole that he was.
