Reading back through Dain's post led me to Jeffrey Friedman's papers page and his to John Stuart Mill's "On Liberty". Interesting narrative of his transition to demotist ("Philosophical Radical") in the tradition of his father and Bentham to Carlyle-inspired elitist. The bit about tolerance reminded me of , which seems to be along similar lines as Jacob Levy's* . I have not read any of the three books referenced.*Fitting since he's the author of one of my favorites, &qii&;Luberalosmt#39;s Divide" which I host at my blog.
