It struck me that JS Mill is an
important philosopher along with his father James Mill and his wife Harriet
Taylor Mill, with whom he had a close collaboration, yet they seem fairly
under-represented in philosophical debate compared with other philosophers, for
example, Kant. I looked for a group to join that was specifically dedicated to
the Mills but couldn’t find one so I’ve started this blog to fill the gap. My
interest in Mill is that, amongst philosophers, he is unique in that he was a
male feminist devoted to social reform and women’s rights. He was practical in
that he involved himself in political life and stood up for what was right.
This is pertinent today when politics seems in turmoil and liberal values are
under threat.
