John Stuart Mill observed in his Autobiography that he was a rare
case in nineteenth-century Britain because he had not lost his
religion but never had any. He was a freethinker from beginning to
end. What is not often realized, however, is that Mill's life was
nevertheless impinged upon by religion at every turn. This is true
both of the close relationships that shaped him and of his own,
internal thoughts. Mill was a religious sceptic, but not the kind
of person which that term usually conjures up. The unexpected
presence and prominence of spirituality is not only there in Mill's
late, startling essay, 'Theism', in which he makes the case for
hope in God and in Christ. It is everywhere-in his immediate
family, his best friends, and his vision for the future. It is even
there in such a seemingly unlikely place as his Logic, which
repeatedly addresses religious themes. John Stuart Mill: A Secular
Life is a biography which follows one of Britain's most
well-respected intellectuals through all of the key moments in his
life from falling in love to sitting in Parliament and beyond. It
also explores his classic works including, On Liberty, Principles
of Political Economy, Utilitarianism, and The Subjection of Women.
In this well-researched study which offers original findings and
insights, Timothy Larsen presents the Mill you never knew. The Mill
that even some of his closest disciples never knew. This is John
Stuart Mill, the Saint of Rationalism-a secular life and a
spiritual life.
