Abstract:
John Stuart Mill is an important theorist in the western history. He inherited the personal freedom theory developed by Hobbes and Locke. But Mill realized that the extreme individualism would lead to the sharp opposition between individual and community. Based on these, Mill integrated the utilitarianism and liberalism. He thought the government must do some limited and obligatory intervention for the overwhelming majority of the people's greatest happiness. These changes could realize the transition of classical liberalism to the neoliberalism, and gave classical liberalism with vitality.
