The moral justification for government is, that it is needed to
promote the community's interest. What is that interest an interest
in? Upon what basis can disagreements about the community's
interest and individual interests be reconciled? Can democracy
enable dissatisfaction with their reconciliation to be lived with?
Perhaps, if people are prepared to meet the requirements of
democratic citizenship. What are these requirements, and what is
their justification? These are the questions with which this book
is concerned.
At the turn of the century Idealism was perhaps the leading school
of philosophy in the English-speaking world. By the 1960s the
situation was very different. There had occurred during the
previous two generations what has been described as ‘a revolution
in philosophy’, one consequence of which had been the almost
total eclipse of Idealism. Originally published in 1962, this book
is a critical study of certain aspects of the work of four Idealist
philosophers: F. H. Bradley, T. H. Green, Bernard Bosanquet and
Josiah Royce. It deals mainly with their social philosophy, but
some consideration is also given to their metaphysics. It is the
thesis of this book that there is a valid and significant form of
Idealism to be found in the work of these philosophers, but that
they did not succeed in developing it fully and consistently.
