Who was James Mill (1773-1836)? What was his legacy to British
society and culture? The achievement of this Scottish-born
political philosopher, economist and historian has been
overshadowed by that of his son, John Stuart Mill, but as Alexander
Bain (1818-1903), himself a philosopher and empiricist, shows in
this biography, published in 1882, Mill's range of interests was
remarkable. He wrote on education and psychology, and developed
theories on political economy and the need for parliamentary
reform. Mill was also critical of the history of British
colonialism (his three-volume History of India is reissued in this
series), and argued for religious tolerance, as well as
collaborating with Jeremy Bentham as a proponent of utilitarianism,
the philosophy which sought 'the greatest happiness of the greater
number'. Bain places the facts of Mill's life in the context of the
remarkable changes undergone by British society and culture in this
period.
