John Stuart Mill's best-known work is On Liberty (1859). In it he
declared that Western society was in danger of coming to a
standstill. To understand how Mill came to this conclusion requires
one to investigate his notion of the stages from barbarism to
civilisation, and also his belief in imperialism as part of the
civilising process. This study encompasses discourses on the
blessings, curses and dangers of modernisation from approximately
the time of the American and French revolutions to that of the
so-called mid-Victorian calm in which On Liberty was written.
Current political issues concerning the West and Islamic countries
have heightened interest in just the kind of question that this
book discusses: that of how the West relates to, and assesses, the
rest of the world.
