Read Hobhouse’s chapter, taking notes on his ideas as you do so.
According to Hobhouse, Mill’s attempt to theorise liberalism was problematic because it was too ‘individualistic’. He meant that Mill seems to think that personal development is a strictly individual matter and that society was only a source of repression, i.e. society seeks to impose conformity and prevent personal development. Hobhouse argues that personal development is never only an individual matter and always a ‘social’ one. He agrees that there can be repressive social relations, which should be abolished because we all need society to be organised to support our progressive development. He goes on to argue that we can replace all repressive social relations with progressive ones. ‘The Heart of Liberty’ is about the principles which should guide our efforts to build a society which supports individual progress for everyone.
