From Thoroughly Modern Mill: A utilitarian who became a liberal--but never understood the limits of reason
Corrections mine. There needs to be a distinction between parties and principles. My argument: If "freedom and custom are mutually dependent", then neither the classical liberal Mill nor the classical conservative Burke were correct. To surrender to the state is no better than free experiment. |
