论密尔的自由观及其时代价值

On Mill’s View of Freedom and the Value of the Times

英国十九世纪著名的自由主义理论大师密尔,他在继承古典自由主义与功利主义思想的基础上,形成了自身独特的自由观,他既是古典自由主义的传承者,同时也是新自由主义的开拓者。他的自由主义思想在世界范围内产生过巨大的影响,即使是在二十一世纪的今天,密尔的自由主义思想对于中国社会的发展也具有一定的时代价值,值得我们批判地借鉴与发展。

Mill, the famous master of liberal theory in the 19th century, formed his own unique view of freedom on the basis of inheriting classical liberalism and utilitarianism. He is not only the inheritor of classical liberalism, but also the pioneer of neoliberalism. His liberal thought has had a great influence in the world. Even in the 21st century today, Mill’s liberal thought also has a certain time value for the development of Chinese society, which is worthy of our critical reference and development.
