T.H. Green's Theory of Positive Freedom: From Metaphysics to Political Theory (British Idealist Studies, Series 3: Green)

Int his new and entirely revised edition of this study of Green's theory of positive freedom, Ben Wempe argues that the far-reaching and beneficial influence of Green's political doctrine, on public policy as well as in the field of political theory, was founded on a misinterpretation of his philosophical stand, since the metaphysical basis on which Green argued for his political position was largely neglected. The book discusses Green's philosophical development and examines the important, hitherto underrated, influence of Hegel's Propadeutik, into the formation of his philosphical opinions.
