John Stuart Mill on Liberty and Control

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.

Through their close observation ong>ofong> monuments and material culture, authors uncover the subtle role colour has played in the construction ong>ofong> past social identities and the expression ong>ofong> ancient beliefs. Providing an original contribution to our understanding ong>ofong> past worlds ong>ofong> meaning, this book will be essential reading for archaeologists, anthropologists and historians, as well as anyone with an interest in material culture, art and aesthetics.

Political Thought and International Relations: Variations on

Political Thought and International Relations: Variations on

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Bell, Duncan, PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, Political realism dominated the study ong>ofong> international relations during the Cold War. Since then, however, its fortunes have been mixed: pushed onto the backfoot during s, it has in recent years retuned to the centre ong>ofong> scholarly debate in international relations. Yet despite its significance in international relations theory, realism plays little role in contemporary international political theory.

They analyse a variety ong>ofong> historical and philosophical themes, probing the potential and the pathologies ong>ofong> realist thought.

Finally, a number ong>ofong> the contributors engage with general issues in political theory, including the meaning and ong>valueong> ong>ofong> pessimism, the relationship between power and ethics, the role ong>ofong> normative political theory, and what might constitute political 'reality.' Straddling international relations and political theory, this book makes a significant contribution to both fields.
