“ At a time when religion in politics threatens to divide society, On Liberty is a timely reminder that there is a way to conceive of society other than through the communalistic approach to diversity that places “groups” at the centre of policy rather than free individuals. Mill stands for free speech and discussion in all matters, including religious and political ones, because this is how society can test and refine propositions thought to be true – a rebuke to the idea that the law should censor free expression to protect the sensitivities of groups. If groups matter, in Mill’s view, it is because the liberty of individuals to form them matters, and groups can never be allowed to tyrannise or enforce their own dogma on others. „

Face to faith: We should all celebrate the 150th anniversary of John Stuart Mill’s On Liberty, says Andrew Copson | The Guardian
