The 2025 John Stuart Mill Lecture: Mill on the Complementarity of Permanence and Change
Professor Moody-Adams’ paper will explore Mill’s claim that Jeremy Bentham and Samuel Taylor Coleridge were the two great “half-men” of their time, asking whether this assertion illuminates Mill’s view of the relationship between tradition and progress, or does it reveal a fundamental ambivalence at the core of Mill’s thought, and what this might tell us about Mill’s understanding of truth.
