Religion & Philosophy
On Liberty by John Stuart Mill (H.B)
Discussed and debated from time immemorial, the concept of personal liberty went without codification until the publication of this enduring work which applies an ethical system of utilitarianism to society and the state which to this day remains well known and studied. Mills (1806-1873), a British economist, philosopher, and ethical theorist whose argument does not focus on “the so-called Liberty of the Willbut Civil, or Social Liberty: the nature and limits of the power which can be legitimately exercised by society over the individual” asks and answers provocative questions relating to the boundaries of social authority and individual sovereignty. He declares that there is “one very simple principle” regarding the use of coercion in society one may only coerce others either to defend oneself or to defend others from harm. Mill puts forth his basic argument in favor of liberty for the individual as long as it harms no one else. Setting forth the value of liberty of opinion and liberty of action, he emphasizes the importance of individuality versus the “tyranny of the majority” and highlights the positive effects of liberty on all people and on society, as freedom enables progress and prevents social stagnation. He details the appropriate level of authority society ought to have over the individual societys obligation to protect people incapable of exercising their own freedom. On Liberty remains one of the most influential studies on the nature of individual liberty and its role in a democratic society.

One of Ours
One Of Ours is a book written by Willa Cather, who later received the 1923 Pulitzer Prize. In One of Ours, Cather brings World War I to the heartland of Nebraska and sensitively guides the reader through the highs and lows experienced by a young man who is already enjoying what is perhaps his life’s greatest triumphs. But, One of Ours is not a tale of battle. Instead, it’s just another excellent examination of the most fundamental aspirations, phobias, and concerns of travellers. This is an emotional tale of purposelessness and human restlessness. At the turn of the century, Claude Wheeler was born in Nebraska to a wealthy agricultural family. Claude, who is unsatisfied with his job and his wife, finds fulfilment while serving in France during World War I. How will Claude survive during the War? What will happen to Claude’s family? To read this amazing collection of ideas based on sacrifices and life, readers should go through the book!
