John Stuart Mill’s classic text, On Liberty, maps the scope and limits on individual freedom. His “harm principle”—that liberty can be legitimately restricted by government or society only to prevent harm to others—has had a great influence on contemporary public health ethics. This essay examines Mill’s philosophy of liberty as it pertains to public health interventions in response to the coronavirus pandemic. Particular applications include examination of face masks, lockdowns, and mandatory vaccination.

大流行期间的自由与社会保护：重温约翰·斯图亚特·米尔（John Stuart Mill）

约翰·斯图尔特·米尔（John Stuart Mill）的经典著作《自由》（On Liberty）描绘了个人自由的范围和限制。他的“伤害原则”（即为了防止对他人的伤害只能由政府或社会合法地限制自由）对当代公共卫生道德产生了重大影响。本文探讨了米尔的自由哲学，因为它与针对冠状病毒大流行的公共卫生干预有关。特殊应用包括检查口罩，锁定装置和强制接种疫苗。
