Description
John Stuart Mill's Autobiography is a candid account of his extraordinary education and its influence on his thought. Written to express gratitude to those who shaped his intellectual development, it also serves as an exercise in self-analysis. The Autobiography provides insight into the key principles that underpin Mill's political philosophy, including his appreciation for diversity, plurality, and complexity. This edition includes additional manuscript materials from earlier drafts, offering a nuanced understanding of the conflicting imperatives that guided Mill's choices about significant episodes and relationships in his life. Mark Philp's introduction contextualises the Autobiography, highlighting the tensions between Mill's personal experiences and the text itself.
