Beschreibung:
Bruce Kinzer offers a rich examination of personal and political themes in the life of the most influential liberal thinker of the Nineteenth century. He investigates young Mill's formative period and his relations with his father, Harriet Taylor, and Thomas Carlyle. Kinzer explores issues that bear upon our understanding of Mill as an engaged political thinker and actor and offers a complex portrait of Mill's life and politics.
BOTH UK AND U.S. APPEAL: Kinzer's reviewer, Walter Arnstein, Professor Emeritus of History and Jubilee Professor Emeritus of the Liberal Arts and Sciences at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, writes that Kinzer knows as much about the life and world of John Stuart Mill as does any active scholar in both the United States and Great Britain. John Stuart Mill is a figure of international interest and will be sure to interest academics at home and overseas. Mill remains Britains prototypical 19th century liberal philosopher and all of his major works in economics and philosophy remain in print
