The Perfectionist Liberalism of T.H. Green.
- Authors
Hinton, Timothy
- Abstract
The article focuses on nineteenth-century English idealist, T.H. Green, and his ideals. Green believes that for a human being to live well, he or she must estimate the principle of a perfectly virtuous character. He strongly believed in improving the quality of education and abridging the availability of liquor. Green also distinguished between two classes of rights. First one is the class of rights prior to the state and the second one arises out of establishment of a state. For Green, these rights are basic rights.
