Uncollected Writings: Writing on Political Philosophy
Richard Wollheim (1923–2003) is known primarily for his writings on aesthetics and on philosophy of mind and psychoanalysis, being a towering figure in these fields. Yet his work had a very wide scope, and a discernible further major strand in his academic output is political philosophy, on which this volume, of previously uncollected papers, concentrates. The papers range over a number of topics, but several themes recur: a concern for the worki…
John Stuart Mill and the Limits of State Action (1973)
This influential paper, interpreting John Stuart Mill’s account of liberty and the limits of state action, was published in the journal Social Research in 1973. Mill argues that the only reason to interfere with the liberty of an (adult, rational) human being is to prevent interference with the interests of others or threat thereto. But the notion of ‘interest’ is a difficult one. Is any source of unhappiness or discontent a damage to interests? …
Socialism and Culture (1961)
Socialism and Culture, published as a pamphlet for the Fabian Society in May 1961, is a fascinating, wide-ranging essay that takes on the question of the culture of a putative socialist society. Wollheim suggests that British culture is ‘stored’ within its education system, dominated by the middle classes, focused on Oxbridge, Public and Grammar Schools, and a Classical education. A new mass culture has emerged, aimed at maximum diffusion, leisur…
A Paradox in the Theory of Democracy
Art and its Objects
Richard Wollheim's classic reflection on art considers central questions regarding expression, representation, style, the significance of the artist's intention and the essentially historical nature of art. Presented in a fresh series livery for the twenty-first century, with a specially commissioned Preface written by Richard Eldridge, illuminating its continuing importance and relevance to philosophical enquiry, Art and its Objects continues to…

On Writing A Family Romance
N LATE JULY 1962 I made the decision to leave London for the summer and go down to a cottage that my niece had lent me. It was a turbulent moment in my life, and, as I drove out of London, I felt my stomach quivering. A few months earlier I had bought myself a small minivan in which to get across London to my analysis, which I was starting. Already the van had proved something of a greenhouse, forcing strange and unwanted thoughts or emotions int…

The Thread of Life
Art, Interpretation, and the Creative Process
M Y STARTING POINT is a thesis about the correct method of criticism in the arts. A name for this method suggests itself. I shall call the thesis the Scrutiny thesis, and, rather than offer a general formulation of it, I shall introduce it by seeing what it has to say about criticism in the various arts. The Scrutiny thesis, then, asserts that (1) in criticising a poem the critic should confine himself to what he can come to know through reading …

On Art and the Mind
Psychoanalysis and Feminism
It would be no gross exaggeration to say that the contemporary intellectual case for the women’s movement is pretty much that which the movement inherited from the thought of the 18th-century Enlightenment. The modern age, it is true, has added typical features of style to its presentation—elements of
Neurosis and the Artist
In 1941 Edmund Wilson published a volume of essays under the title The Wound and the Bow in which he put forward a powerful but not altogether unambiguous thesis about the nature of art and the artist. The title is a reference to the Greek warrior Philoctetes, who was forced to live in isolation because of the appalling stench from his open wound but was then sought out by his fellow countrymen because of his unerring bow; and the thesis consists…
