Book Description

Series: Great Books in Philosophy | Publication Date: May 1991

In this powerful work, John Stuart Mill sets forth representative government as the most sensible compromise between unreflective rule by the masses and the self-indulgence of the few. The reader of this volume senses that Mill is being pulled in opposing directions: steadfastly committed to majority rule with minority rights while at the same time being just enough of an aristocrat to believe that the masses need exemplars to emulate.

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible edition, April 15, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Considerations on Representative Government (Great Books in Philosophy) (Paperback)

As you read throug the Prometheus Great Books in Philosophy edition, you'll find that 32 pages are missing. Although these seems to be a very enlightning and interesting book, you'll never know it if you read this edition. I found another complaint about these editions in a review oh Thomas Hobbes Leviathan. I guess Amazon should be more carefull about their merchandise, or at least inform its costumers of the problems.
