I haven't read Mill in years but I can tell you that /lit/ not talking about something is never a sign that it is bad.

Good political philosophy; shit ethics (albeit interesting).

probably in terms of raw intellect the greatest of philosophers, although not the greatest philosopher

He couldn't pull off the Schopenhauer look very well.

He was, but we only discuss the cute ones on here.

i enjoyed is autobiography

/Lit/ only cares about Nietzsche really, there's no positive reason why it doesn't talk about him

Anyway I never really understood why people find Mill so appealing. He was a very cogent expresser of 19th century liberalism, but all it's interesting issues and the debates which surround it today more or less completely evade his analysis.

Would love to discuss Rozanov

American Pastoral is really good. I plan on reading Portnoy next.

He was a feminist so its best that you don't reveal him to the unread high school students who post here now.

Expect to be inundated with Mill posts once the intro to philosophy courses begin to cover him. This happened around October last year.

He seems pretty interesting. Is any of his stuff in English?
