Más información sobre el libro

At its core, this classic work explores the balance between individual freedom and governmental authority. Mill proposes a fundamental principle: coercion is only justified to prevent harm to oneself or others. This seemingly simple idea challenges the legitimacy of government interventions aimed at improving societal behavior, leading to profound social implications. The discussions surrounding Mill's principle have sparked significant debate among social scientists for over a century, gaining renewed relevance in contemporary discourse.
