书籍介绍
This volume brings together J.S. Mills On Liberty and a selection of important essays by such eminent scholars as Isaiah Berlin, Alan Ryan, John Rees, C.L. Ten and Richard Wollheim. As well as providing authoritative commentary upon On Liberty, the essays reflect a broader debate about the philosophical foundations of Mill's liberalism, particularly the question of the connection betweenMill's professed utilitarianism and his commitment to individual liberty. Introduced and edited by John Gray and G.W. Smith, the book will be of interest to students of Mill, to ethical and political philosophers and to anyone interested in the contemporary status of liberalism.

后面选文都挺重要
这个文集的七篇文章都很有启示，特别是berlin、rees、gray和smith的四篇。伯林对密尔的解读可谓大刀阔斧，直接取消了后者论证中的后果论结构，伯林的解释是必须要加以回应的；里斯以基本善的思路来解释密尔的伤害原则的做法是正确的；史密斯和格雷的文章都把密尔的行动自由方面的理论跟后者的意志自由方面的观点结合起来，深化了对《论自由》的解释。
