Reviews

Riley's book is one of the best critical overviews of On Liberty in print. It pays scrupulous attention to the details of Mill's text, places these details in helpful historical context, and highlights their continued importance. Moreover, it manages to do all of this in clear and engaging language. - Leonard Kahn, Loyola University New Orleans , USA This is the most authoritative guide to Mill's On Liberty. Students and lecturers alike will profit enormously from reading Jonathan Riley's combination of impressive scholarship and accessible writing, in a book which is informed by all areas of Mill's thinking. - Thomas Schramme, Hamburg University, Germany
