First published in 1983. The primary argument of this book is that
there is a coherent tradition of liberal thinking that extends from
L. S. Mill, through liberals like T. H. Green, Bernard Bosanquet,
L. T. Hobhouse and John Dewey to John Rawls. The author places
Rawls within a longstanding tradition of liberal thinking, while
also arguing that Green and Hobhouse are not simply of historical
interest but represent genuine and interesting attempts to develop
a modern liberal theory. It is argued that modern liberal theory
centres on a conception of human nature; that modern liberals have
sought to harmonise the pursuit of individuality with participation
in social and communal life. Although the book focuses on six
modern liberals, the discussion proceeds topically rather than
according to author, thus highlighting similarities and
disagreements and providing a comprehensive study of modern
liberalism.
