This lecture discusses key ideas from the 19th century Utilitarian philosopher John Stuart Mill's work, On Liberty
It focuses specifically on one of Mills' lines of argument about why opinions should not be silenced or suppressed. This one has to do with the ways in which accepted truths are held. Without some opposition or contrast, he claims, they will be held as mere prejudices.
