Utilitarianism and the New Liberalism

Auteur: Weinstein, D. (Wake Forest University, North Carolina)
Editeur: Cambridge University Press
This study argues that nineteenth-century English New Liberalism was considerably more indebted to classical English utilitarianism than the received view holds. T. H. Green, L. T. Hobhouse, D. G. Ritchie and J. A. Hobson were liberal consequentialists who followed J. S. Mill in trying to accommodate robust, liberal moral rights with the goal of promoting self-realisation.
