The British idealists made significant and lasting contributions to
the social and political thought of the nineteenth century. They
contributed to the evolution debate in insisting that the social
organism could not be understood in naturalistic terms, but instead
had to be conceived as an evolving spiritual unity. In this respect
the British idealists developed a distinctive view of the state
constitutive of the individual and they are commonly acknowledged
as the forerunners of modern communitarian theory. Furthermore the
idealists contributed to the major debates of their day, including
evolution, democracy, the role of the state, education and
international relations. In his introduction, David Boucher
develops the themes illustrated in the writings of the British
idealists. This volume also contains biographies of the British
idealists which incorporate their principal works.
