Mill decries the individual who chooses what is customary in preference to what suits their own inclination. ‘It does not occur to them,’ he says, ‘to have any inclination, except for what is customary.

On Liberty (Further extract from Chapter 3)

You are very welcome to this podcast: History Re-Read. On the first Monday of every month, I present a commentary on a famous text from history. Something familiar that many of you will already have read, while others, myself included, might feel it to be something we should have read, or must have read but can’t remember doing so. Over the other Mondays of the month, I am relating that text audiobook style either in full or abridged form. <hr> Hosted on Acast.
