'''John Stuart Mill''' (20 May 1806 – 8 May 1873) was a British [[philosopher]], [[political economist]], civil servant, and [[Member of Parliament]] who is widely regarded as one of the most influential thinkers in the history of [[liberalism]]. He contributed extensively to [[social theory]], [[political theory]], and [[political economy]]. Mill's conception of [[liberty]] justified the freedom of the individual in opposition to unlimited state and social control.

== Early life and education ==
Mill was born in [[Pentonville]], London, the eldest son of the Scottish philosopher, historian, and economist [[James Mill]]. He was educated exclusively by his father, who was a strict disciplinarian. By the age of three, Mill was taught Greek and by the age of eight, Latin, alongside English, arithmetic, and history.

== Career ==
Mill followed his father into a career at the [[East India Company]] until its abolition in 1858. He was also an influential figure in the British Parliament, advocating for liberal policies such as women's suffrage and labor rights.

== Philosophical views ==
Mill's most famous work, ''[[On Liberty]]'', argues for the protection of individual freedom against state interference and societal opinion. He also wrote extensively on [[utilitarianism]], a moral theory that evaluates actions based on their consequences for overall happiness and well-being.

== Personal life ==
Mill was married to [[Harriet Taylor Mill]], a significant influence on his work and ideas. After her death, Mill spent the rest of his life promoting her ideas and ensuring her contributions to his work were recognized.

== Legacy ==
Mill's ideas have had a profound influence on liberalism, political theory, and economics. His works continue to be studied and debated by scholars and students around the world.
