Description
Maurice Cowling's Mill and Liberalism is a thought-provoking analysis of John Stuart Mill's philosophical ideas. First published in 1963, this work has been subject to varying reactions over the years, but its relevance remains pertinent today.
Cowling's interpretation of Mill's thought as a coherent whole with a specific purpose - aimed at replacing Christianity with a libertarian public doctrine - was met with hostility upon its initial release. In this new edition, Cowling revisits his argument and situates Mill and Liberalism within the broader intellectual landscape of post-war Britain.
By examining the various strands of the 'new Right' and relating academic to journalistic and political manifestations, Cowling sheds new light on the enduring significance of Mill's ideas. This book offers a nuanced understanding of Mill's philosophical legacy and its continued relevance in contemporary debates about politics and ideology.
