John Stuart Mill on Society - Dictionary of Arguments
Gaus I 101 Society/Mill/Gaus: ‘Human beings in society,’ Mill claimed, ‘have no properties but those which are derived from, and which may be resolved into, the laws of the nature of individual men’ (1963b(1): 879; see also Bentham, 1987(2): ch. I, s. 4). William Spencer agreed: ‘the properties of the mass are dependent upon the attributes of its component parts’ (1995)(3). >Individualism/Spencer. 1.
