Categories:

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 19th century Utilitarian philosopher John Stuart Mill's work, On Liberty It focuses specifically on his discussion of what he calls "one-sidedness" with respect to truth. In his view, because positions or perspectives rarely encompass the entire truth, it is useful from a utilitarian perspective to give opposed positions a hearing.
