Book Description
The central concern of this book is to demonstrate how Puritanism was a theme which ran through all Green's biography and political philosophy. It thereby reveals how Green's connections with Evangelicalism and his known affinities with religious dissent came from his way of conceiving Puritanism. In Green’s eyes, its anti-formalist viewpoint made Puritanism the most suitable tool for avoiding the drawbacks of democracy. The key objective of the book is to illustrate how the philosophy elaborated by Green aimed to encapsulate the best of Puritanism whilst eschewing the dangerous abstractions of both Puritan philosophy and German idealism. It follows that Green’s conception of positive and negative freedom, and his vision of political obligation, stemmed from his effort to revive the Puritan heritage rather than from an ambiguous flirtation with idealism. The book purports to show how the influence of Puritanism in Green’s political thought is an element which can help to integrate the literature in the area, contributing to a better comprehension of a philosopher who, despite being unanimously considered as the founder of the so-called Oxford idealist school, had a very difficult and sometimes obscure connection with idealism. It has been widely argued that Green’s relationship with idealism seemed to be infected by a religious germ which, because it was unrelated to German idealism, gave it a bad taste. This study aims to encourage further investigation into the nature and propagation of that germ in the British idealist School.

Book Description
Excerpt from Six Radical Thinkers, Bentham, J. S: Mill, Cobden, Carlyle, Mazzini, T. H, Green It was this state of things that Bentham could not tolerate. It was not in his blood to do it. Blind and deaf as he was to whole tracts of human experience, there were some things to which the ways of in uence were open indeed. Sincerity, honesty, candour, such as have never been surpassed, were part of his being. The recollection of that money, he says, recalling a very venial childish departure from perfect straight forwardness, was like the worm that never dieth within me. I never told a lie, he once said in the latest years of his long life to Bowring, from whom he hid nothing, I never in my remembrance did what I knew to be a dishonest thing. This was his native spirit. It fed on all it met - on the memoirs he read, even as a child, of the victims of the law's delay, in which, he tells us, the demon of chicane appeared to him in all its hideousness on the extorted tests of Oxford University; on the damnatory revelations of his brief practice at the bar; on the legal studies of his later life; till at last it broke out in a torrent of denunciation and derision. Complication, he cries, is the nursery of fraud. Our whole judiciary establishment is one entire mass of corruption.

Book Description
The notion of 'representative democracy' seems unquestionably familiar today, but how did the Victorians understand democracy, parliamentary representation, and diversity?
