Born on 20 May 1806, John Stuart Mill could read Greek at the age of three, Latin at eight and, unsurprisingly, had a nervous breakdown at 20.
He wrote influential works on liberty, utilitarianism and sexual equality, became an MP and was a major political reformer. Peter Cave , himself a follower of Mill's
Utilitarianism (acting for the greatest happiness of the greatest number of people), considers how this Victorian thinker has influenced the world 200 years after his birth.
