Beyond the harm principle

Article Abstract:

The harm principle is a time-honored principle, introduced by John Stuart Mill, where the only purpose for which power can be rightly exercised against the will of any member of a civilized community, is to prevent harm to others. An alternative to this principle is the sovereignty principle where the only legitimate restrictions on conduct are those that secure the mutual independence of free persons from each other.
