Sobre la libertad y tolerancia (a propósito de On Liberty de J. S. Mill)

Nowadays we are fortunate to live in societies where freedom of thought and expression are taken for granted and protected by constitutions and laws, and even outside the legal framework, by certain institutions and public opinion. in this vein, the present paper aims to critically address the two essential concepts in On liberty by J.S. Mill, namely, “tolerance” and “liberty”. In particular, the second chapter of this work, “Of the liberty of thought and discussion” provides the starting point for discussion of its justification.
