John Stuart Mill

John Stuart Mill (1806–1873) was educated at home by his father, the philosopher James Mill, in a famously rigorous programme, and worked for the East India Company for thirty-five years while writing the System of Logic (1843), Principles of Political Economy (1848), On Liberty (1859), Utilitarianism (1861) and The Subjection of Women (1869). His collaborator in much of this was Harriet Taylor, whom he married in 1851. He sat in Parliament from 1865 to 1868 and died at Avignon.
