SUMMARY:A celebration and exploration of aspects of the life\, career and t
 hought of John Stuart Mill
DESCRIPTION:In 1859\, the philosopher and leading liberal theorist of Victo
 rian Britain\, John Stuart Mill\, published his most important and endurin
 g work &ndash\;&nbsp\;On Liberty. In this essay Mill set out the principle
 \, still acknowledged as universal and valid today\, that only the threat 
 of harm to others could justify interfering with anyone&rsquo\;s liberty o
 f action.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;On Liberty&nbsp\;has become the most revered of lib
 eral texts. On 14 November 2009\, the Liberal Democrat History Group\, the
  London School of Economics and the British Liberal Political Studies Grou
 p are holding a one-day symposium to celebrate the 150th&nbsp\;anniversary
  of the publication of&nbsp\;On Liberty&nbsp\;and to publicise the archive
  of papers left by Mill and his wife Harriet Taylor who\, according to Mil
 l\, was as much responsible for&nbsp\;On Liberty&nbsp\;as he was himself.&

 Howarth\, Liberal Democrat MP for Cambridge: The importance of J S Mill an
