Overview

The British Idealists made significant and lasting contributions to the social and political thought of the nineteenth century. They contributed to all the major debates of their day, including evolution, democracy, the role of the state, education and international relations and propounded a communitarianism that is the forerunner of Tony Blair's social policy. The introduction develops the themes illustrated in the writings of the British Idealists. This volume also contains a biography of the British Idealists which incorporates their principal works.
