To write a book about James Mill's political philosophy. Book will cast some new light on a political philosopher who has stood too long in the doubly obscuring shadow of Jeremy Bentham and of his more famous son, John Stuart Mill. Hals will be the first book-length critical and historical study of James Mill's political philosophy and, moreover, the first to make use of the newly discovered Mill papers.
