An influential contributor to social theory, political theory, and political economy, his conception of liberty justified the freedom of the individual in opposition to unlimited state control. He was a proponent of utilitarianism, an ethical theory developed by Jeremy Bentham, although his conception of it was very different from Bentham's. Hoping to remedy the problems found in an inductive approach to science, such as confirmation bias, he clearly set forth the premises of falsification as the key component in the scientific method.

As one of the most prominent thinkers in the history of classical liberalism, he contributed extensively to social and political theory, and political economy.

Mills also provides an in-depth review of the various Utopian Socialists of the nineteenth century.
