Masterfully written with sophistication and vivid illustration. This is not ivory-tower philosophy. It's real political philosophy with real and clear application.
"Over himself, over his own mind and body, the individual is sovereign".

A Libertarian Manifesto

Though a Unitarian of his time, Mill clearly lays out the principles of the modern Libertarian movement.

With lots of old English, which makes me confused. I wish I will be able to finish it before my graduation xD"

One of the best philosophical book I have ever read. It contains theses with which I agree and it is also very effective from a rhetorical point of view. Sometimes it simplifies too much complex problems, but the general principles that are proposed in its pages are true. Everybody should read it.
