Abstract

This work provides an interpretation of John Stuart Mill's On Liberty (1859)and elucidates the fundamental principles of Mill's concept of liberty. For Mill, the right to form one's own convictions and live according to them should only be infringed upon for one reason, namely 'to prevent harm to others'.
