Liberty, Equality, Fraternity And Three Brief Essays

With great energy and clarity, Sir James Fitzjames Stephen (1829-1894), author ofHistory of the Criminal Law of England, and judge of the High Court from 1879-91, challenges John Stuart Mill'sOn LibertyandOn Utilitarianism, arguing that Mill's view of humanity is sentimental and utopian. "His writing is strong meat--full of the threat of hellfrire, the virtue of government by the lash and a fervent belief that the state cannot remain neutral but has a duty to espouse a moral code."--Roderick Munday,Cambridge Law JournalStephen, James F. is the author of 'Liberty, Equality, Fraternity And Three Brief Essays' with ISBN 9780226772585 and ISBN 0226772586.
