Autobiography. The story of my life and beliefs. John Stewart Mill

John Stewart Mill in our time would be called a child prodigy - at three years he began to learn classical Greek, at twelve years he began to study higher mathematics, chemistry, elbities and political economy, by fourteen the education of the future philosopher was considered complete.

At the same time, in the life of Mill there were no children's entertainment and friends, he grew up as a physically weak boy. Youth hardships resulted in a spiritual crisis, the exit from which Mili saw in suicide. However, a fracture in John Stuart’s life, which he so clearly described in his “Autobiography” changed Mill's attitude not only to his own life, but also to the life of society as a whole.
