This well-preserved 1964 paperback edition of “Liberalism” by L.T. Hobhouse offers a fascinating glimpse into the intellectual foundations of liberal political thought. Hobhouse, a prominent British philosopher and sociologist, was a key figure in the “New Liberal” movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His work sought to reconcile classical liberal ideals of individual liberty with the emerging progressive emphasis on social welfare and state intervention. In this seminal text, Hobhouse articulates a comprehensive liberal philosophy that embraces both negative and positive freedoms, arguing for a balanced approach that protects individual rights while also promoting social justice and collective well-being. Despite its age and modest wear, this copy remains a valuable resource for scholars, students, and collectors interested in the evolution of liberal thought and its enduring influence on modern political discourse.
