Books by Colin Tyler

This book examines the British tradition of common good politics, both historically and in the contemporary world. The book will appeal particularly to students and scholars interested in British politics, internationalism and political theory.

This book presents a critical reconstruction of the social and political facets of Thomas Hill Green's liberal socialism. It builds on Colin Tyler's The Metaphysics of Self-realisation and Freedom (2010), although it can also be read as a freestanding work.

This first part of Colin Tyler''s new critical assessment of the social and political thought of T.H. Green (1836ΓÇô1882) explores the grounding that Green gives to liberal socialism. Tyler shows how, for Green, ultimately, personal self-realisation and freedom stem from the innate human drive to construct a bedrock of fundamental values and commitments that can define and give direction to the individual''s most valuable potentials and talents. This book is not only a significant contribution to British idealist scholarship. It highlights also the enduring philosophical and ethical resources of a social democratic tradition that remains one of the world''s most important social and political movements, and not least across Britain, Europe, North America, India and Australia.
