Marx and Mill: Two Views of Social Conflict and Social Harmony presents a rigorous comparative analysis of Karl Marx and John Stuart Mill, two thinkers whose competing visions of society, class, and human freedom have shaped modern political thought more profoundly than almost any others. Graeme Duncan, Professor of Politics at the University of Adelaide, charts the fundamental divergences between Marx's theory of irreconcilable class conflict and Mill's optimistic faith in gradual reform and rational consensus, illuminating the deep philosophical fault lines that run through Western political tradition.\n\nDuncan's scholarship is precise, authoritative, and unflinchingly analytical, drawing on a wide command of primary texts and situating both thinkers within their historical and intellectual contexts. The work argues that the tension between conflict and harmony is not merely an academic debate but a living question about the very nature of society and the possibilities of human emancipation. Published by Cambridge University Press in 1973, this study remains an essential reference for students of political philosophy, intellectual history, and social theory — and its central question, whether society is fundamentally divided or capable of reconciliation, remains as urgent and unanswered today as ever.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203275563227,"sku":"2026200013055-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/816dee6f-4bda-4ba9-9fe7-d4faf98906a9.png?v=1788147196","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200013055-secondhand-marx-and-mill-two-views-of-social-conflict-and-social-harmony","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
