James Fitzjames Stephens argues against the philosophical and
social views advanced by John Stuart Mill: for the author, Mill's
ideas of equality, utilitarianism and freedom were anathema. The
attitudes expressed by Stephens were unpopular at the time of
publication: his arguments against the notions of democracy and
freedom are rooted in traditionalism, in a time of great - and
arguably irreversible - upheaval. Many of the criticisms against
liberty, in particular its deleterious potential upon morals,
accurately predict the liberalization of Western societies during
the 20th century. Stephens other opinions, such as his opposition
to women's rights, have been firmly consigned to history. While
Stephens, and other thinkers like him, would fall out of favor,
this work provides a stunning summation of contrarian arguments.
Stephens was a conservatively-minded member of the British
judiciary whose views closely correspond with elements of
old-fashioned Toryism.
