Ep 74 Wolff Peace - John Stuart Mill & Eleanor Roosevelt: The duty of conscience
Episode 74
Monday, 18 August, 2025
Why does society so often punish difference—and how can we defend conscience in the face of pressure? In this episode of the Wolff Peace series, host Avis Kalfsbeek explores John Stuart Mill’s classic argument against social conformity and Eleanor Roosevelt’s life of compassion-driven defiance. She stood for human dignity, no matter how unpopular; he wrote that liberty demands protection from popular tyranny. Together, they remind us that peace is not only the absence of war, but the assurance that every individual may live—and dissent—with integrity.
