Equal Freedom and Utility: Herbert Spencer's Liberal Utilitarianism by David Wei

Description: Equal Freedom and Utility by David Weinstein Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description This rich and provocative study is the first to examine Herbert Spencers critical role in the development of liberal utilitarian moral and political philosophy in the nineteenth century. While several scholars correctly see Mill as a founder of liberal utilitarianism, none have appreciated Spencers equally important formative role. Publisher Description This rich and provocative study assesses Herbert Spencers pivotal contribution to the emergence of liberal utilitarianism and shows that Spencer, as much as J. S. Mill, provided liberal utilitarianism with its formative contours. Like Mill, Spencer tried to reconcile a principle of liberty and strong moral rights with a utilitarian, maximizing theory of good. In this powerful and sympathetic account, David Weinstein argues that Spencers moral and political thought exhibits greater systematic integrity than received views of his thought acknowledge. However, Weinstein also examines the problems and flaws in Spencers version of liberal utilitarianism, and shows that, precisely because of these flaws, it is engaging and deserving of our critical attention. This challenging study will be of interest to graduates and scholars in the fields of political theory, moral and political philosophy, and the history of political thought.
