Описание: This book is the first comprehensively researched study of the life and thought of Irish-born William Thompson (1778–1833), who is regarded by historians of socialist thought as the most influential theorist to emerge from the Owenite movement in early 19th-century Britain and Ireland. His work on the distribution of wealth was used by Marx, and he also became a key figure in the history of feminism. Fintan Lane outlines Thompson’s personal and political context as well as examining his social, political and economic thought. Part One covers his family, social and Irish background and his engagement with radical ideas, including his collaboration with Jeremy Bentham. Part Two focuses on his time as a leading thinker in the early socialist movement, while the Epilogue discusses the notorious dispute over his will, his subsequent influence and how he has been regarded since his death. Bringing to light new facts about Thompson as well as correcting previous misunderstandings about his life and context, this long-overdue study of an important and influential thinker will appeal to historians of modern Britain and Ireland, of political economy and those interested in the history of ideas more broadly.

Описание:

Authorities ranging from philosophers to politicians nowadays question the existence of concepts of society, whether in the present or the past. This book argues that social concepts most definitely existed in late medieval and early modern England, laying the foundations for modern models of society. The book analyzes social paradigms and how they changed in the period. A pervasive medieval model was the "body social," which imagined a society of three estates - the clergy, the nobility, and the commonalty - conjoined by interdependent functions, arranged in static hierarchies based upon birth, and rejecting wealth and championing poverty. Another model the book describes as "social humanist," that fundamentally questioned the body social, advancing merit over birth, mobility over stasis, and wealth over poverty. The theory of the body social was vigorously articulated between the 1480s and the 1550s. Parts of the old metaphor actually survived beyond 1550, but alternative models of social humanist thought challenged the body concept in the period, advancing a novel paradigm of merit, mobility, and wealth. The book's methodology focuses on the intellectual context of a variety of contemporary texts.

Описание: The danger to British democracy in the interwar period came from a different source to that which has thus far been assumed. It came from a network of radical conservatives who challenged the political system and sought to replace it with an authoritarian corporate state. In this book, Bernhard Dietz provides the first systematic analysis of this network and its members, which are called Neo-Tories. With strong links to the European right, yet a minority back home, this group of British conservatives are all the more fascinating today because it is on their ultimate failure that the success of British democracy rested.
