Mill’s autobiography deals with but one part of a life, the life of the mind-but a mind that ranks as one of the most remarkable and significant of the nineteenth century. The book memorably depicts the emergence of a brilliant child prodigy, the product of an extraordinary education that both hastened his development and brought him to the brink of suicide by the age of twenty-one; illumined with equal clarity is the story of John Stuart Mill’s renewed commitment to life, and of the further conflicts that marked his long evolution toward maturity as a major philosopher and social thinker. Superb in its dispassionate objectivity, the Autobiography stands as a work of enduring stature and relevance, the final testament of a rare and luminous intelligence.

På slutet tappar den fart. Men allt annat är mycket tänkvärt och medryckande. Den pedagogiska metod hans far använde tycks ha byggt på skyhöga förväntningar kombinerade med ett aktivt återhållande av självförtroendet. Intressant. Hans kärlek till hustrun och livskamraten är mycket rörande. Efter hennes död är det som om Mills liv förlorar sin mening.
