The Liberal Radicalism of T.H. Green and Edward Caird
This article gives a new perspective on the relationship between liberalism, class and protest in the late-Victorian and Edwardian political thought and activism. It focuses particularly on two leading British idealists, Thomas Hill Green (1836-82) and Edward Caird (1835-1908). Section one introduces the topic. Section two argues against a wide-spread scholarly interpretation of the British idealists as moralising middle-class collectivists. Sect…
Introduction
Excerpt:The articles in this special issue explore some of these complexities as they have appeared in Britain over the past 200 years. They cover a range of media, from satirical cartoons, periodicals, and public speeches, to fictional texts, revolutionary pamphlets, official reports, broadcast media, and popular music. Each of the authors draws out the nuances of which protest is capable, exposing a range of subtleties and ambiguities, as well …
Multicultural conversations
Despite well-known criticism of multiculturalism in Britain, the Netherlands, Germany, Canada, Australia, India and elsewhere since 9/11, such policies have proliferated ( Banting and Kymlicka, 2013 ; Mathieu, 2018 ) and the Canadian and Australian policies of multiculturalism have since celebrated their 50th birthdays. Political theories of multiculturalism have proliferated in this period too ( Lenard, 2022 ; Modood, 2007/2013 ; Patten, 2014 ; …
Analyzing Pluralized Moral Panics Using Morphological Framing
British idealist engagements with Mazzinianism, 1858 to 1929
This article contributes to the scholarship on Giuseppe Mazzini's impact on British radicalism, through an analysis of British idealist engagements with his life and writings between 1858 and 1929. Section one introduces the topic. Section two sketches a background for the analysis, highlighting Mazzini's place within the milieu of European exiles living in Britain from the 1840s to the 1870s, ultimately focusing on Mazzini's engagements at Oxfor…
Rethinking Constant’s ancient liberty
Benjamin Constant was a vociferous critic of the political Rousseauianism that he saw underpinning French politics in the early nineteenth-century. Yet, his hostile reaction at the political level co-existed with a far more sympathetic attitude towards Rousseau’s critical analysis of modernity. This article reflects on that combination through the dual lens of the influence on Constant’s position of his ambivalent attitude towards Rousseau on the…
J.A. Symonds, socialism and the crisis of sexuality in fin-de-siècle Britain
This article analyses the theory of sexuality, personality and politics developed by the literary critic John Addington Symonds (1840–1893). Sections 1 and 2 introduce Symonds’ changing reputation as a modernist theorist of ‘sexual inversion’ (homosexuality). Section 3 examines his conceptualization of the processes whereby an individual can sublimate sexual urges to create a harmonious and unalienated personality which acknowledges the need to c…
Individuality, Freedom and Socialism
Together with utilitarianism, British idealism dominated Anglo-American philosophy from the 1870s until the end of the First World War. This article counters a persisting criticism of the British idealists: that they endorsed the allegedly oppressive and static theory of the state associated with German idealists, especially J. G. Fichte. The article introduces the British idealists' reputation as Fichtean collectivists and provides an overview o…
Drafting the Nineteen Propositions, January–July 1642
This article analyses the drafting of the document eventually printed as the Nineteen Propositions. Section two addresses certain issues regarding the methods and concepts employed in the subsequent analysis, focusing on consensus‐building, constitutional leanings and the drafting of parliamentary declarations in early 1642. Section three examines the origins of the Nineteen Propositions in the draft Declaration of Ways and Means (January 1642) (…
D. G. Ritchie on socialism, history and Locke
The history of late-19th-century socialism tends to focus on the rise of more extreme forms, especially Marxism. This approach marginalizes the more moderate and yet no less powerful and influential forms of socialism, particularly those developed by philosophers who were also political activists. This article seeks to rectify this situation to some extent. Section two reconstructs Ritchie's liberal socialism and relates it to his endorsement of …

Performativity and the Intellectual Historian's Re-enactment of Written Works
This article develops and defends a performative conception of historical re-enactment as a fruitful method by which intellectual historians can interpret texts. Specifically, it argues that, in order to understand properly any given text, the intellectual historian should re-enact the performative activities of the writer of that text. The first section analyses one of the most influential and powerful theories of historical re-enactment, namely…
Idealist Political Philosophy
The central claim of this book is that previous scholars have not appreciated the depths and complexities of the relationships between British idealist radicalism and the earlier idealist tradition of Kant, Fichte, Hegel and Carlyle. Colin Tyler explores two recurring themes: the first is that the foundations of British idealist thought were encapsulated within parts of Hegel's political theory that have been ignored or misunderstood - specifical…
European radicalism, 1789–1919 introduction
This special issue of The History of European Ideas focuses on the work of four leading radicals, each of whom was at the height of his intellectual powers and political influence at some time betw
Hegel, war and the tragedy of imperialism
This article contextualises Hegel's writings on international order, especially those concerning war and imperialism. The recurring theme is the tragic nature of the struggles for recognition which are instantiated by these phenomena. Section one examines Hegel's analysis of the Holy Roman Empire in the context of French incursions into German territories, as that analysis was developed in his early essay on 'The German Constitution' (1798-1802).…

Mill and Bright on the relationship between responsible citizenship and class membership. Section 2 examines Green's theories of social balance and responsible citizenshi…
Negotiating the ‘Modern Wilderness of Interests
Cultural Pluralism
I examine Seglow's critique (Politics 17(3) 1997) of my assessment of Parekh's theory of operative public values (Politics 16(3) 1996). This examination has four main stages: (a) the rejection of crucial aspects of Seglow's interpretation of my argument, (b) the rejection of his claim that my argument is logically committed to certain other specific positions which I do not support, (c) the rejection of his claim that I my argumentative strategie…
The Implications of Parekh's Cultural Pluralism
This paper assesses the special difficulties faced by a liberal democratic system which seeks to maintain its democratic credentials when governing a culturally diverse society. The argument focuses upon the analysis of cultural pluralism developed in two recent pieces of Bhikhu Parekh. After clarifying the nature of Parekh's culturally pluralistic society, the cultural specificity of liberal democracy is examined Finally, Parekh's attempt to rec…
