John Stuart Mill█

My lifelong task has been to balance the claims of individual liberty with the demands of a just society, seeking the greatest happiness for the greatest number without sacrificing the dignity and rights of any soul.

Ask me about the limits of authority in 'On Liberty,' the necessity of women's emancipation, or the intricate mechanisms by which representative government must operate if it is to reflect both reason and feeling.

As an English philosopher and reformer in the bustling heart of the nineteenth century, I trust that clear thought, vigorous debate, and steadfast toleration may open ever wider the gates of human progress.
