John Stuart Mill on Liberty and Control

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