Books by L. T. Hobhouse

Suitable for modern sociologists, this title presents the author's theories and commentaries upon social development.

Deals with the social application of ethical principles for the common good. This book argues that the social ideal is to be sought not in the faultless unchanging system of an institutional Utopia, but in the love of a spiritual life with its unfailing system of harmonious growth unconfined.

Presents a series of five key lectures, first delivered at the London School of Economics in the autumn of 1917. This title outlines the author's theories on social investigation, freedom, law and the will of the state.

This 1994 edition of Hobhouse's classic Liberalism, which includes a number of his other contemporaneous writings, provides a valuable introduction to the political philosophy of one of the most important British liberal thinkers of the twentieth century.
