Duncan Forbes and the history of ideas
Duncan Forbes was born in 1922 and died in 1994. After reading history at Cambridge and war service in the Seaforth Highlanders, where as a young platoon commander he won the M.C. at Anzio, he retu
Victorian Historians and the Royal Historical Society ( The Prothero Lecture )
SUPERFICIALLY regarded, the foundation of the Royal Historical Society a hundred and twenty years ago belongs to that spate of foundations of academic societies and specialised disciplinary journals, on the continent and in the United States as well as in Britain, which occurred in the concluding decades of the last century and around the beginning of this. Indeed if mere date of foundation were all that counted the Society is considerably more v…

Higher maxims
The truths of political economy form but a class among the principles of administration, and in their practical application must often be limited by higher maxims of state, to which in theory too they are held subordinate, as being less general.francis horner, ‘Observations upon the Bounty upon Exported Corn’, Edinburgh Review (1804)
That Noble Science of Politics
In this unusual and important work, three well-known historians of ideas examine the diverse forms taken in nineteenth-century Britain by the aspiration to develop what was then known as a 'science of politics'. This aspiration encompassed a more extensive and ambitious range of concerns than is implied by the modern term 'political science': in fact, as this book demonstrates, it remained the overarching category under which many nineteenth-cent…

The idea of a 'Whig interpretation' of English history incorporates the two fundamental notions of progress and continuity. The former made it possible to read English history as a 'success story', the latter endorsed a pragmatic, gradualist political style as the foundation of English freedom. Dr Burrow's book explore these ideas, and the tensions between them in studies of four major Victorian historians: Macaulay, Stubbs, Freeman and (as somet…

The Limits of State Action
The Limits of State Action
The Limits of State Action
This text is important both as one of the most interesting contributions to the liberalism of the German Enlightenment, and as the most significant source for the ideas which John Stuart Mill popularized in his essay On Liberty. Humboldt's concern is to define the criteria by which the permissible limits of the state's activities may be determined. His basic principle, like that of Mill, is that the only justification for government interference …
Evolution and Society
Evolution & Society
This article explores the complex relationship between biological evolution and social development, examining how evolutionary principles have been applied, and often misapplied, to understand human societies. It discusses the influence of Darwinian thought on 19th and early 20th-century social theories, including Social Darwinism, and critiques the simplistic and often deterministic interpretations of evolutionary concepts in these contexts. The…
