| Résumé: | The particular quality of Tawney's greatness was well described by Hugh Gaitskell as a combination of "learning with passion". The knowledge of social history on which he based Religion and the Rise of Capitalism goes hand in hand here with the feelings which prompted The Acquisitive Society. In his essays on three prominent radicals -Lovett, Owen, and Ruskin- as in his discussions of secondary education, the W.E.A., economic liberty, or the nationalization of the coal mines, Tawney's cause is always the fair treatment of the working classes and the shaping of a truly democratic socialism. Some of the social injustices noted by him in his early essays are still with us: some have gone. But the humanitarian inspiration of the Radical Tradition is a valid as ever. -4e de couv. |
