Can anyone tell me in what essays/books Mill wrote about the utility/greatness of classical authors, as mentioned in this podcast podcast?
It’s all over the place but the review of grotes history of Greece is one good example which you would need to find in the complete works
I heard Cowen talking about Mill and came here to see if you'd noticed. You had! Yeah, I'm looking forward to reading his Mill chapter.
I asked ChatGPT a couple questions about the book and the answers came back a few times: Cowen likes Mill a lot.
It’s a great chapter!
John Stuart Mill is such an important thinker. Especially these days, his words are a powerful defense of free speech against censorship.
well, there's a lifetime's worth of reading and listening to be getting on with. great chat. cheers.
Glad you enjoyed it and happy reading!
