englischThe book comprises seven interconnected essays that aim to enrich our understanding of Mill’s thinking and his political liberalism as a historically determined narrative. It does so by drawing on recent historiographical debates, the theoretical assumptions of the “New History of Political Thought” and conceptual history. Sharing common methodological ground, the different chapters elaborate on questions concerning the relevance of historical texts for our present understanding of Mill’s thoughts and how to study them as embedded in their social and political context. Thus, the book examines a variety of textual sources, gravitating around the study of a selection of concepts and a number of prominent intellectuals, which contributes to the formation of a picture of Mill’s intellectual milieu and historical background.
