Mill understood that human nature was so far from naturally good that the ultimate object of education should be "restraining discipline." The man to whom conformity, obedience and even law were dirty words could demand, in another mood, the retention of capital punishment and call for a penal code "strengthening our punishments" rather than "weakening them...
