John Stuart Mill on Liberty and Control

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hamburger, Joseph, PUBLISHER: Princeton University Press, John Stuart Mill is one ong>ofong> the hallowed figures ong>ofong> the liberal tradition, revered for his defense ong>ofong> liberal principles and expansive personal liberty. By examining Mill's arguments in "On Liberty in light ong>ofong> his other ong>writingsong>, however, Joseph Hamburger reveals a Mill very different from the "saint ong>ofong> rationalism" so central to liberal thought. He shows that Mill, far from being an advocate ong>ofong> a maximum degree ong>ofong> liberty, was an advocate ong>ofong> liberty "and control--indeed a degree ong>ofong> control ultimately incompatible with liberal ideals. Hamburger ong>ofong>fers this powerful challenge to conventional scholarship by presenting Mill's views on liberty in the context ong>ofong> his ideas about, in particular, religion and historical development. The book draws on the whole range ong>ofong> Mill's philosophical ong>writingsong> and on his correspondence with, among others, Harriet Taylor Mill, Auguste Comte, and Alexander Bain to show that Mill's underlying goal was to replace the traditional religious basis ong>ofong> society with a form ong>ofong> secular religion that would rest on moral authority, individual restraint, and social control. Hamburger argues that Mill was not self-contradictory in thus championing both control and liberty. Rather, liberty and control worked together in Mill's thought as part ong>ofong> a balanced, coherent program ong>ofong> social and moral reform that was neither liberal nor authoritarian. Based on a lifetime's study ong>ofong> nineteenth-century political thought, this clearly written and forcefully argued book is a major reinterpretation ong>ofong> Mill's ideas and intellectual legacy.
