内容説明

This original and compelling book argues that previous studies of John Stuart Mill's work have neglected his egalitarianism and thus seriously misunderstood his views. Morales demonstrates that Mill was fundamentally concerned with how the exercise of unjust or arbitrary power by some individuals over others sabotages the possibility of human well-being and social improvement. Mill therefore believed that 'perfect equality'—more than liberty—was the foundation of democracy and that democracy was a moral ideal for the organization of human life in all of its dimensions. By reinterpreting Mill, Morales also challenges twentieth-century views of liberalism, and addresses its contemporary communitarian and feminist critics.

目次

  • Mills substantive egalitarianism
  • Mill on Bentham: two conceptions of liberalism
  • A social conception of utility
  • The corrupting effects of power
  • The tyranny of the domestic sphere
  • The foundation of Millean community.
