Paper Summary:

"In the defense of liberty, Mill makes evident a lot of good points. First off, he points out that many ages have held certain opinions to be true, which have later been regarded as absurdities by later generations (showing us that the opinions that shape the way we think and feel may later be deemed absurd). He argues that no wise man has ever gained his wisdom in any other manner than by keeping his mind open to criticism, and by listening to all sides, including opposition. In fact, it does not exist in human nature to gain wisdom in any other fashion. "Sample of Sources Used:
- Mill, John Stuart. "On Liberty." 1869.
