  • Rights and Socialism 1750–1880

    Open AccessGareth Stedman JonesCHAPTERCambridge History of Rights2024

    This chapter places Marx’s well-known critique of individual rights in On the Jewish Question (1843) in the context of a more widespread indifference to rights languages in the early socialist movements of Britain, France, and Prussia. For all their differences, early socialists agreed that genuine human flourishing would require transcending what Marx was to call the “narrow horizon of bourgeois right.” The chapter charts the swinging pendulum o…

  • The Cambridge History of Rights

    Open AccessNehal Bhuta, Anthony Pagden et al.BOOKCambridge History of Rights2024

    The age of Enlightenment and revolutions produced some of our best-known declarations of rights, but they did not create the idea of rights. Writers during this age did such a good job at declaring rights that many historians and politicians later believed that they invented them. The fourth volume of The Cambridge History of Rights shows that the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries are better understood as a time of transformation, extending rig…

  • Millennium and Enlightenment

    Gareth Stedman JonesARTICLEHistory of European Ideas2020

    This article aims to explain the family resemblance between the early socialism that emerged in France from the aftermath of the Revolution and Owenite socialism, which emerged out of the very different political and religious circumstances of late Georgian Britain. While the ‘sciences’ of Henri Saint-Simon and Charles Fourier were conceived to end the crisis produced by the French Revolution, Owen’s newfound principle, what he called the ‘scienc…

  • Malthus, Nineteenth-Century Socialism, and Marx

    Open AccessGareth Stedman JonesARTICLEThe Historical Journal2019Cited by: 1References: 13

    This article examines radical and socialist responses to Malthus's Essay on population , beginning with the response of William Godwin, Malthus's main object of attack, but focusing particularly upon the position adopted by his most important admirer, Robert Owen. The anti-Malthus position was promoted and sustained both by Owen and the subsequent Owenite movement. Owenites stressed both the extent of uncultivated land and the capacity of science…

  • The 1848 Revolutions and European Political Thought

    Douglas Moggach, Gareth Stedman JonesBOOK1848 Revolutions and European…2018

    The revolutions that swept across Europe in 1848 marked a turning-point in the history of political and social thought. They raised questions of democracy, nationhood, freedom and social cohesion that have remained among the key issues of modern politics, and still help to define the major ideological currents - liberalism, socialism, republicanism, anarchism, conservatism - in which these questions continue to be debated today. This collection o…

  • The current debate about the significance of Marx

    Apart from drawing useful editorial attention to some repetitions found in the text, the main criticism of my book found in Jamie Melrose's essay is that it rehearses a familiar tradition, whose ai

  • Pressure from Without’

    Open AccessGareth Stedman JonesARTICLEParliamentary History2017

    The period 1864 to 1867 was among the most fruitful of Karl Marx's life. As well as writing up the manuscript of Capital , he was an active participant in the International Working Men's Association (IWMA), which had been founded in London in 1864. It was Marx who composed its ‘Inaugural Address’ and the ‘Rules’ of the Association, helping to define the new social democratic language of the 1860s. Internationally, the civil war in America, the Po…

    David Feldman, Gareth Stedman JonesBOOKRoutledge Revivals : Metropolis…2016

    First published in 1989, this book seeks to demonstrate the social and political images of late-twentieth century London — the post-big-bang city, docklands, trade union defeats, a mounting north-south divide — do not mark as decisive break with the past as they may appear to. It argues that the most striking thing about London’s history since 1800 is the continuities and recurrences which punctuate it. The essays collected in this book focus on …

  • Religion and liberty in European political thought 1800–1860 ca

    Gareth Stedman JonesARTICLEJournal of Modern Italian Studies2012

    The piece argues that the religious themes discussed by Francesca Sofia for the case of the Risorgimento represented versions of a more general European discussion and intellectual transformations that took place between the end of the eighteenth century and the first decades of the nineteenth century. These developments included new conceptions of religion that emerged in the 1780s; the rise of the notion of civil religion that, after the failur…

  • Introduction

    Open AccessIra Katznelson, Gareth Stedman JonesCHAPTERReligion and the Political…2010

    The brilliant sculptor Pietro Torrigiano mutilated a terracotta Pietà he had executed in early sixteenth-century Spain. He was convicted by the Inquisition for defiling a sacred image, and was imprisoned in Seville until he died in 1528. There are moments and places where artists can still be persecuted for violating religious norms. That, for instance, is the situation of Maqbool Fida Husain, a leading nonagenarian and Muslim Indian contemporary…

  • Religion and the origins of socialism

    Open AccessGareth Stedman JonesCHAPTERReligion and the Political…2010

    Socialism has rarely if ever been treated as part of the religious history of Europe and the wider world. Through most of the twentieth century, political and intellectual historians, particularly those writing about the modern period, tended to leave the study of religion to sociologists and psychologists. In the face of philosophical criticism, scientific advance and large-scale social change, religious mentalities and beliefs, it was assumed, …

  • Religion and the Political Imagination

    Open AccessIngrid Creppell, David M Thompson et al.BOOKReligion and the Political…2010

    The theory of secularisation became a virtually unchallenged truth of twentieth-century social science. First sketched out by Enlightenment philosophers, then transformed into an irreversible global process by nineteenth-century thinkers, the theory was given substance by the precipitate drop in religious practice across Western Europe in the 1960s. However, the re-emergence of acute conflicts at the interface between religion and politics has co…

  • Radicalism and the extra-European world

    Open AccessGareth Stedman JonesCHAPTERVictorian Visions of Global Order2007

    The radical case against empire remained remarkably constant between Paine at the end of the eighteenth century and Hobson at the end of the nineteenth; and that included Marx. This was true, whether of its depiction of the colonists, its exposure of the corrupt arrangements between government and trading companies, its attack upon indefensible monopolies or its highlighting of the cost to the tax-payer. But Marx's attitude towards extra-European…

  • An End to Poverty

    Gareth Stedman JonesBOOKEnd to Poverty?2005

    In the 1790s, for the first time, reformers proposed bringing poverty to an end. Inspired by scientific progress, the promise of an international economy, and the revolutions in France and the United States, political thinkers such as Thomas Paine and Antoine-Nicolas Condorcet argued that all citizens could be protected against the hazards of economic insecurity. In An End to Poverty? Gareth Stedman Jones revisits this founding moment in the hist…

  • An end to poverty

    Open AccessGareth Stedman JonesARTICLEHistorical Research2005Cited by: 1

    This article argues that the first non-utopian proposals to eliminate poverty through the universal provision of social insurance appeared in the seventeen-nineties. They formed part of a novel programme which linked the pursuit of equality with commercial society and a republican polity found both in Condorcet's Sketch for a Historical Picture of the Progress of the Human Mind (1795) and in the so-called 'social chapter' of Tom Paine's Rights of…
