A short and still incredibly compelling essay - read it!
The Hackett edition is well edited with a good introduction and helpful annotations... Mill's most famous statement in the essay is one worth remembering: '... the sole end for which mankind are warranted, individually or collectively, in interfering with the liberty of action of any of their number, is self-protection. That the only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilised community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others. His own good, either physical or moral, is not a sufficient warrant. He cannot rightfully be compelled to do or forbear because it will be better for him to do so, because it will make him happier, because, in the opinions of others, to do so would be wise, or even right. These are good reasons for remonstrating with him, or reasoning with him, or persuading him, or entreating him, but not for compelling him, or visiting him with any evil in case he do otherwise.To justify that, the conduct from which it is desired to deter him must be calculated to produce evil to some one else. The only part of the conduct of any one, for which he is amenable to society, is that which concerns others. In the part which merely concerns himself, his independence is, of right, absolute. Over himself, over his own body and mind, the individual is sovereign.' (Ch. 1, 'Introductory')Read full review

Deep Calling to Deep
On Liberty explores the limits that government, and social pressure may have upon the individual and where we must draw the line in order to not allow political or social pressures, become tyrannical in their influence. We all have a duty to keep government and social influence under control, up to the point of throwing off the oppression ...with force if necessary. As individuals, we are, biologically, free, socially independent, and spiritually responsible. We may not exchange our free and natural state without losing the other two. "Government is a necessary evil",stated George Washington, who continued, "it is the temperance of good men, which must limit the evil to serve us and not to oppress".
