The British philosopher who wrote "On Liberty" and warned about the "tyranny of the majority". Not everything can be decided by a vote; we need to protect individual rights and so forth. Lived in the 1800's.

He was one of the earliest "feminists" and champions of womens rights. His father (John Mill?) was also famous in sociology or philosophy.

That's about all I can remember offhand.
